00:00:12

the familiar feeling of being

00:00:15

devastated when battles blow without announcement,

00:00:19

when the homeland is divided without asking for permission,

00:00:22

and in the soul heat is replaced by

00:00:25

frost, as if access to the air has been blocked,

00:00:30

in a moment you will blow yourself up on the enemy's dream

00:00:32

in the children's playgrounds, the wind is walking, an

00:00:35

empty fence where you were yesterday, and in the

00:00:39

silence of an inhuman language those violinists play

00:00:42

for the eternal sadness of your

00:00:47

loss and may I be with you not soon I

00:00:53

will not forget you

00:01:08

I will not

00:01:10

forget you because there is

00:01:28

no more native [music] of this spring on the eve of May 9,

00:01:32

Ukrainians are again at the

00:01:34

crossroads of whether to rejoice or

00:01:37

be sad, we got a complicated story

00:01:40

because on at the beginning of the Second World War, Ukraine

00:01:43

simply did not exist, the west belonged to Poland, the

00:01:46

center and the east to Russia, and the war began and

00:01:49

ended differently for everyone,

00:01:51

then for many years

00:01:54

this Soviet monument was a symbol of Victory,

00:01:56

but recently,

00:02:00

discussions around the Motherland have not subsided,

00:02:02

some want to demolish it, others insist

00:02:05

leave the third to repaint and only

00:02:08

she is

00:02:28

silent

00:02:31

This is

00:02:33

incredible I am not a historian I do not fight with

00:02:37

monuments I just know how to listen to people

00:02:39

and In this film I tried to collect the

00:02:42

history of Ukraine in the Second World War from

00:02:45

pieces of human memory of those who survived

00:02:49

this

00:02:50

[music]

00:02:56

war you you won't find it in any

00:02:58

history textbook,

00:03:00

you won't be told about it by Google and

00:03:02

Facebook The war through the eyes of the last witnesses of

00:03:05

those events, the children of Victory, they all

00:03:09

lived in different corners of Ukraine and

00:03:12

each of them saw their own

00:03:18

[music]

00:03:28

war

00:03:31

Good morning good morning How are you nothing is

00:03:35

normal Всё хорошо всё хорошо Yes, we're

00:03:37

ready, let's go, let's go

00:03:42

[music]

00:03:44

Hanna Mykhailovna Stryshkova is the first heroine of

00:03:47

our film, although her life story, in

00:03:50

my opinion, qualifies for a separate full-length

00:03:53

lodrama, because it has so many unexpected

00:03:55

turns and upheavals that

00:03:58

no screenwriter in the world is capable of imagining

00:04:04

Anna Mykhailivna and I

00:04:07

are going on a journey through her

00:04:13

childhood in order to learn at least some of the

00:04:16

secrets from her

00:04:18

life. The reform came to her senses. of the

00:04:35

central railway station of Kyiv

00:04:37

72 years ago, it was here in April 1945 that a

00:04:41

train with children released from the

00:04:44

German concentration camp

00:04:47

Auschwitz arrived here, most likely,

00:04:50

people who met this

00:04:53

belt were gathered here, and probably my future adoptive parents were among them

00:05:00

[music]

00:05:04

mouse What if we had a girl I'll like it

00:05:07

more than a boy. Well, we've

00:05:10

already decided to take someone as handsome as you. My

00:05:14

mother was very sick in childhood. She

00:05:18

had severe inflammation

00:05:20

and she couldn't have children, and apparently that's why

00:05:24

they decided to take her. When

00:05:26

they found out that they had children, they decided to take the

00:05:28

child

00:05:29

[ music]

00:05:34

questions, I heard that the train went to

00:05:37

Tashkent, the city of bread, because Kiev

00:05:40

too. In general, the

00:05:46

children who were from Kiev had nothing to worry about. There were

00:05:50

about 200 of them.

00:05:56

they won't survive anymore, the

00:06:00

doctor is coming soon On the platform,

00:06:05

here we are, what

00:06:11

are you crying about, what's wrong with him, this girl is very

00:06:15

weak, I don't know if she will survive Hey, they took blood six times,

00:06:21

Mom, when I saw your

00:06:24

white head, it's so broken,

00:06:26

like the daisy says, that means I've decided to

00:06:28

take you

00:06:30

and where Now, where, where, in the hospital,

00:06:33

look for the central office, don't be mistaken, let's live,

00:06:36

boy,

00:06:38

step aside, female,

00:06:42

female, my name is

00:06:46

Anya, Anechka

00:06:50

Nyuta, today, 72 years later, our train

00:06:53

is going to the place from where Anna Mykhailivna

00:06:56

was brought to Kyiv, and maybe there she

00:06:59

will find answers to all the questions in her

00:07:08

[music]

00:07:11

life is very exciting because it is

00:07:14

possible to say Return to Childhood and

00:07:18

moreover to Childhood is

00:07:25

completely scary, let's go Let's go with God

00:07:31

24

00:07:33

the train is located on it so happened that the

00:07:36

next heroine of our film Just

00:07:39

as Anna Mykhailivna

00:07:41

also traveled on the train in the spring of 1945 But in in the opposite

00:07:53

direction from Ukraine [music] at the end of the war, a family of

00:07:55

Polish Jews fled from

00:07:57

Lviv liberated by the Soviets many years later This

00:08:01

girl in a green sweater will tell the

00:08:03

world another, no less dramatic story of

00:08:06

her

00:08:08

family when we arrive we remember

00:08:12

that dad

00:08:14

dad dad And where are we

00:08:18

going where are

00:08:19

we there will be a

00:08:22

home, they were going nowhere because they miraculously survived

00:08:28

here

00:08:35

[music]

00:08:44

today, almost every Ukrainian knows Kopernyka Street in Lviv,

00:08:46

because it is here every year that the

00:08:50

international publishers' forum takes place,

00:08:52

at one of which I bought this

00:08:54

book, the girl in the green sweater, but

00:08:57

then I couldn't even imagine I couldn't believe that

00:09:00

this girl lived on this very

00:09:03

street, in that building on the third

00:09:07

floor, and her story described here shocked the

00:09:11

whole

00:09:12

world. Since then, I dreamed of meeting

00:09:16

this incredible

00:09:19

woman. I was born in

00:09:22

Lviv

00:09:23

in October 1935 and lived there until

00:09:32

the day before 1945 On the Second World War, our

00:09:34

fabulously beautiful Lviv did not belong to Ukraine at all.

00:09:38

Before the war, it was a

00:09:40

Polish city where Ukrainians, Poles

00:09:43

and

00:09:45

[music]

00:09:47

Jews lived. How did she get tired, but the doctor said

00:09:51

that a child was about to be born? The

00:09:54

Hygers were a wealthy family, they had several

00:09:57

shops of their own in the city, an apartment in the

00:09:59

center the maid and

00:10:03

[music]

00:10:06

[applause] the

00:10:12

governess Congratulations Mr.

00:10:15

Higer This

00:10:17

[music] is

00:10:20

a boy when my brother was born my father

00:10:23

gave me a little dog he was as

00:10:26

white as the first snow so we called

00:10:29

him

00:10:32

Fluffy my father was afraid that I would be jealous of my

00:10:34

brother towards my mother What was all the time with him

00:10:38

since then I have a friend to sit

00:10:43

[music]

00:10:44

Fluffy

00:10:47

lie down Fluffy voice

00:10:54

[music]

00:10:58

lie

00:11:00

Can't we escape

00:11:03

[music]

00:11:08

war It seems that

00:11:11

what is it and what is it

00:11:14

[music]

00:11:18

wars Come to

00:11:20

me my grandmother of the potato line often

00:11:24

she came to

00:11:27

visit us to knit beautifully and made

00:11:31

many things for me: coats, dresses,

00:11:35

sweaters. She also knitted this

00:11:38

green sweater for me. I loved it very much, so it is not

00:11:42

surprising that I was wearing this sweater when

00:11:45

we ended up in the sewers

00:11:49

[music]

00:11:50

Khrystyna's peaceful childhood Higer

00:11:52

ended in August

00:11:56

1939, when the USSR and Germany signed a

00:11:59

non-aggression pact and Stalin

00:12:02

drew the border through Poland with his own hand. After this

00:12:06

epoch-making agreement, which the

00:12:08

Soviet government was so proud of, Galicia and Volhynia became

00:12:11

Soviet. And this meant that after the

00:12:13

Polish lords, they came to Ukrainian land

00:12:19

[music]

00:12:22

Russians, with the arrival of the Soviets in the city, all the

00:12:25

inhabitants of Lviv suddenly became equal and

00:12:27

equally bi

00:12:29

[music]

00:12:31

first they took away a shop from the Khigers, which was

00:12:34

located somewhere here on this street, by

00:12:36

the way, today it is called

00:12:38

Staroyevreyska, then the

00:12:40

maid governess disappeared from their house, but the Khigers

00:12:44

were happy for one thing that they were not arrested and

00:12:47

sent to Siberia like hundreds of other

00:12:49

residents of Western

00:12:52

[music]

00:12:56

Ukraine, on the contrary,

00:12:59

our next hero of the film,

00:13:01

who was born in Volyn in the picturesque

00:13:04

village of Krychilsk, was a witness to exactly such events.

00:13:10

he says

00:13:18

slowly, his father worked in

00:13:22

agriculture, he was called a farmer in a modern way,

00:13:25

at first the children were looked after by grandfather

00:13:29

Bartholomew, and then the grandmother ordered that

00:13:33

he was a very bad teacher, this is

00:13:37

me, the puppy,

00:13:39

she said, it’s not the calves.

00:13:46

his

00:13:49

great-great-grandfather Dmytro, who fought for Ukraine

00:13:51

against the Poles while still in Ivan Bohun's army. Well,

00:13:54

when the Polish nobility approached

00:13:57

Vinnytsia, Bohun decided not to wait for

00:13:59

help, he jumped on his horse, called a detachment of

00:14:03

Cossacks and went straight to the enemy.

00:14:12

Ukraine and our family are Ukrainian above

00:14:17

all else. It cannot be anything else.

00:14:20

Grandma Olena was a real Cossack.

00:14:23

But not everyone in the family shared her views,

00:14:26

even her own son still

00:14:30

won. Mom, don’t turn your children against the

00:14:33

Polish government. They should live here and live.

00:14:35

Obviously, Poles don’t want to be here.

00:14:37

There are only a few left. The Soviet government already

00:14:40

owns it. Yes, today, tomorrow,

00:14:44

we will have a new government, a new life. I studied in a

00:14:49

Polish school, finished six classes,

00:14:52

basically everything was built so

00:14:54

that only Polish could be spoken and

00:14:57

people did not

00:15:02

consider us as human beings, son, son, don’t get your hopes up. They have

00:15:05

sucked the blood of Ukrainians for centuries, so what can

00:15:08

I tell you, oh yes, Mom, the ZNO

00:15:11

is starting, and what am I starting? Maybe we will

00:15:13

live better under the communists, your words,

00:15:15

and by

00:15:17

God, Soviet soldiers entered the village of the

00:15:21

arrested man of Soltsabonac, the

00:15:23

wife and children are being sent to Siberia,

00:15:25

but he is a Ukrainian, no

00:15:27

the Poles are

00:15:29

greedy, their bread is taken, give them

00:15:37

the road. Well, what do you

00:15:40

want? Peace, get ready for war. The 39th

00:15:45

entered the Soviet history of Ukraine under the

00:15:48

name Golden September. Maybe it

00:15:50

was like that in the beginning, when the Soviet authorities seemed to

00:15:53

flirt with Ukrainians, united all

00:15:55

lands into one state, legalized the

00:15:57

Ukrainian language however, soon the Soviets

00:16:00

showed a completely different side of their face,

00:16:06

kudrarazada Je

00:16:08

[music]

00:16:11

[ __ ] [ __ ], you

00:16:15

pregnant, go ahead,

00:16:39

where did you

00:16:43

leave?

00:17:03

who did

00:17:06

not support the Soviet

00:17:09

government, most of them never returned home

00:17:21

[music]

00:17:27

I hate

00:17:28

the law Even now, despite his age and

00:17:31

well-being, he still comes here to say

00:17:34

hello to

00:17:36

everyone This is your grandmother Yes, this is my

00:17:40

grandmother and Gresko Elena Yes, good day,

00:17:45

[music]

00:17:57

horses

00:17:58

[music]

00:18:04

at the Krychelsky cemetery mourn the

00:18:06

mother, father, brothers and sisters, seeds of

00:18:11

klymovych, and recently also his wife, who

00:18:14

was both a woman and a friend and a like-minded person, because

00:18:18

together they survived

00:18:22

everything for

00:18:27

not

00:18:29

now he was left alone with memories

00:18:32

of his terrible

00:18:37

[music]

00:18:43

childhood when in Western Ukraine

00:18:46

people were already being killed in the center and

00:18:48

peaceful Soviet life was raging in the east,

00:18:51

but that was only the case at the first

00:18:53

engaged look of Soviet

00:18:56

documentarians, in fact, the air

00:18:58

smelled of war for a long time

00:19:00

and this was unconsciously felt by the next

00:19:04

heroine of the film, Leonora

00:19:08

Koval, a Kyivan, lead us to war were brought up in

00:19:12

such a spirit that we were ready for war,

00:19:15

all our children's games were war, and the

00:19:19

main thing was to discover a spy

00:19:22

and this was the main goal of our children's

00:19:26

games. it was

00:19:35

also read to us, it was all war and spies and

00:19:42

[music]

00:19:45

a threat Close the door, please,

00:19:48

my mother was a chemist before the war, she had just

00:19:51

graduated from the chemistry department of the university,

00:19:54

but just before the war she was operated on, she had a

00:19:56

stomach resection, so she also needed

00:19:59

some care Good evening

00:20:03

evening dob my

00:20:08

bald

00:20:10

Hello how are you feeling better Undress my

00:20:15

hands we will have dinner what are we reading

00:20:19

Haidar fate of

00:20:21

the drummer what is the book about spies

00:20:25

about of course my girlfriend gave it to me for one night It is

00:20:27

very

00:20:29

interesting when the war started I finished the

00:20:32

third grade I was very happy because

00:20:35

I was accepted in pioneers, it was a

00:20:37

great reward for those who studied

00:20:39

only

00:20:42

well. Before the war, the Koval family lived in a

00:20:45

Kyiv alley on Lviv

00:20:47

Square. Now there is almost no woman here. The

00:20:50

old communal house was demolished. And in the place of her

00:20:53

childhood memories, a tax office was built,

00:20:58

but you cannot replace your former house.

00:21:00

come in now there are expensive

00:21:03

cars of our state officials standing here 10

00:21:06

locks and you can't get here unfortunately

00:21:13

but what's really interesting Look at

00:21:16

this tree this tree is still left from our

00:21:18

garden as it is not pruned and it is still

00:21:21

alive these are old people this is an old pear let's go we

00:21:24

say hello to her I congratulate her that she is still

00:21:26

standing now

00:21:28

[music]

00:21:34

500 km from Kyiv in the Kharkiv region

00:21:37

Maria Saenko was born and met the war the

00:21:41

next witness of that stormy

00:21:45

time 13 years old

00:22:00

I will never forget this for 4 hours, my

00:22:02

mother cried, the whole village cried

00:22:06

that the war had begun, the mobilization of men

00:22:10

began to take everyone away, then in 1941, Maria

00:22:15

Hryhorivna did not even imagine what

00:22:17

trials would fall on her small, still

00:22:20

childish shoulders during the war, what

00:22:23

events she would witness. It was mine my favorite

00:22:28

porcelain, and how I will live with this

00:22:36

in the future, however, for Ivan Trofimovych, our

00:22:39

next and last hero of the film, the

00:22:42

arrival of the Germans to his village in Zaporozhye

00:22:44

had the most tragic consequences for me. the

00:23:02

Soviet people immediately reported who the boy

00:23:07

was not even 10 years old when he

00:23:09

witnessed an event that left an imprint on

00:23:12

his entire future life, and who was

00:23:14

arrested: the head of the collective farm, the secretary of

00:23:17

the party committee, and this widow of Trofimovich. Be

00:23:35

afraid, my father

00:23:40

died in Finnish in 1939. He was a junior

00:23:46

commander or someone. Well, in

00:23:49

short, my mother was the wife of a red

00:23:56

commander. My

00:23:58

mother was sold to the Germans, and my

00:24:03

father was gurgling. Where

00:24:06

[music]

00:24:09

was for the help of the Red

00:24:12

Army, these people will

00:24:23

00:25:05

however, this was not the last shock of

00:25:07

little Ivan in that

00:25:09

[music]

00:25:14

war This is how the Second World War was met by all

00:25:18

six heroes of our

00:25:19

film and before each of them the war

00:25:23

set the unchildish task of

00:25:26

surviving

00:25:28

against the general background only stands out

00:25:30

the story of Hanna Stryshkova, who still does not

00:25:33

know what happened to her in the

00:25:36

distant 1941, because her conscious life

00:25:39

began with the train that

00:25:42

brought children from Auschwitz to Kyiv in the spring of 1945.

00:25:52

As

00:25:55

they say to the mind, since it was not

00:26:01

known about me, for example, Where am I, what am I, who am I, then the date

00:26:06

of birth, the age was established by the

00:26:09

Medical Export Commission. Here they

00:26:13

roughly decided that I was born on the 1st year

00:26:16

and in my passport it is written May 1,

00:26:20

1941, the city of birth is Kiev Although in the

00:26:25

metric, I

00:26:26

wrote in

00:26:28

my image that she

00:26:31

celebrated her

00:26:36

birthday. To be honest, at that moment I was

00:26:39

no less worried about Anna Mykhailivna,

00:26:42

because none of us knew what

00:26:44

truth about herself she would learn and how she

00:26:47

would survive this journey to her terrible

00:26:51

[music]

00:26:56

childhood among the Ukrainians

00:26:59

I saw a bridge of Germans in Lviv. I remember that they didn't

00:27:03

enter Lviv on foot, they entered on

00:27:06

motorcycles.

00:27:12

My dad then looked out the window and

00:27:15

said to me, "

00:27:23

This is the end of my life."

00:27:31

at the end of June, the Wehrmacht units

00:27:33

entered Lviv, they felt a terrible

00:27:35

chaos around them, leaving the city, the Soviet

00:27:39

troops destroyed everyone who, in their opinion,

00:27:41

could go over to the side of the enemy, the prisons were filled with

00:27:44

half-decomposed corpses of

00:27:46

Ukrainian nationalists, therefore, at first,

00:27:49

Lviv drowned in tears, and later

00:27:52

exploded with a wave of anti-Semitism

00:27:54

provoked by the German command,

00:28:00

and everything a little girl Khrystyna Higer saw this from the window of her own house.

00:28:05

One day I was in the apartment and

00:28:09

saw how the Germans were leading a

00:28:11

column of Jews down Copernicus Street so that they would soon be locked up

00:28:14

in the ghetto

00:28:16

[music]

00:28:21

Gunther, you don't know why it stinks so much here, I

00:28:28

don't hear anything, it's the Jews stinking,

00:28:34

I'm a fool I saw boys and teenagers throwing

00:28:37

stones at Jews And they were crying and asking

00:28:41

for

00:28:45

[applause]

00:28:54

help on their knees on their knees

00:29:01

why did this happen in your

00:29:03

[music]

00:29:04

opinion it was ordinary

00:29:07

anti-Semitism Jews were not liked too much

00:29:11

that Jews had money, business and some

00:29:15

Ukrainians and Poles did not like it I liked it

00:29:18

when my father was still studying at the

00:29:20

university, he told me that when he

00:29:22

came to class, he always sat alone. Because

00:29:26

no one wanted to sit with Jews, and the Germans

00:29:29

simply successfully took advantage of this, because

00:29:32

when the Nazis captured Lviv, all those people

00:29:36

who hated the Jews helped them

00:29:39

destroy them later. They they were building

00:29:42

concentration camps and ghettos, that is, the

00:29:45

Germans already had

00:29:50

the foundation, we are

00:29:52

ready

00:29:56

to stand on our knees

00:30:06

[applause]

00:30:07

[music]

00:30:10

[applause]

00:30:17

stop, you people, not animals, she is not to

00:30:21

blame for the death of your

00:30:26

men

00:30:29

[music]

00:30:40

[music]

00:30:41

[applause] [music]

00:30:48

[ music]

00:30:56

march

00:30:58

mother took me from the window She didn't

00:31:01

want me to

00:31:03

see it do you remember the facts when

00:31:06

Ukrainians helped Jews survive or

00:31:09

even saved them at the cost of their lives Yes

00:31:12

I know it the Ukrainian church saved

00:31:15

many Jewish children in our family

00:31:19

my husband's sister priests hid in

00:31:26

the church for

00:31:28

many years in a row, Father Sebastyan

00:31:31

collected the memories of priests and sisters who

00:31:33

went through the hell of war, he says that the action to

00:31:36

save the Jews in 1941 was

00:31:39

initiated by Metropolitan Andrey

00:31:42

Sheptytskyi himself in 1941, through this gate of the whip

00:31:46

Lviv Jews fled from the

00:31:49

Gestapo, fled to the Metropolitan,

00:31:51

saving their lives they knew that the metropolitan

00:31:54

would save their lives count how many

00:31:57

lives were saved in this cathedral or

00:31:59

in other Greek-Catholic churches in

00:32:02

Western Ukraine today it is impossible to

00:32:05

save everyone who

00:32:07

asked Priests lived here it is possible that

00:32:10

someone had one, one person or two

00:32:13

people where they were hiding, but no one knows about it I

00:32:16

didn’t advertise, I didn’t tell anyone about it. It

00:32:19

was very secretive, you know, and nowadays

00:32:21

it’s practically impossible to make any statistics.

00:32:28

So, when the

00:32:30

Gestapo was already in control of the west of Ukraine, finally parts of the

00:32:33

country were fighting fiercely. Eleonora

00:32:37

Zakharivna Koval’s father went to the front from the first days of the war.

00:32:41

an operation ago, 11-year-old Elya

00:32:45

was forced to grow up in a moment.

00:33:02

searchlights

00:33:04

were driven from all sides and the plane was seen, then the

00:33:15

shooting began. The defense of Kyiv lasted 72 days,

00:33:18

but at the beginning of September, the Soviet troops

00:33:21

retreated, and for a few days there was a dead silence in Kyiv,

00:33:25

however, for a short time,

00:33:34

already at the beginning of August,

00:33:36

difficulties with

00:33:38

food supplies of all kinds began in stores because it

00:33:42

was not even possible to buy bread so

00:33:44

regularly. Well, nobody knew how to live. The

00:33:47

police disappeared somewhere. There was

00:33:50

no such thing. They started robbing

00:33:55

the store.

00:33:58

And who were these people? They were ordinary

00:34:00

Ukrainians, our ordinary neighbors who

00:34:04

also lived there on Lvivska Street on the street.

00:34:08

she was called vrashila dominy, these

00:34:10

were all my

00:34:11

people when I went to the volunteer office, which I

00:34:15

used to go to, and there were scattered

00:34:18

buttons, but I couldn't help myself.

00:34:27

this box

00:34:30

got lost Eleonora Zakharivna And please tell me

00:34:33

when you first saw

00:34:35

Germans It happened on this street, which is

00:34:37

now called the big Zhytomyrska, it was

00:34:40

exactly on this street that they were going there and going to the

00:34:43

center, and they were not just walking, there

00:34:46

were several of them Well, I don't know how they

00:34:49

were called brigades of Germans, but

00:34:52

they mostly rode, and they also had very beautiful

00:34:55

horses, and the carriages were carried in small

00:35:04

cannons already on November 7, 1941, under the

00:35:08

pressure of German industrialists, Hitler

00:35:10

signed a directive that referred to the

00:35:13

use in the interests of the German

00:35:15

economy of the labor of civilian workers from the

00:35:18

occupied Soviet

00:35:19

[music]

00:35:21

territories, since then, long echelons filled with

00:35:25

Ukrainian youth reached for

00:35:33

[music]

00:35:36

Germany, later another order was issued

00:35:39

to send half a million

00:35:41

Ukrainian women to Germany, a mandatory condition is

00:35:44

German appearance, light eyes and

00:35:46

blond hair, it is known that at that time

00:35:49

more than 3,000 were taken from Kharkiv Oblast alone girls, and

00:35:52

maybe it was in this car that

00:35:55

our 14-year-old Maria Sayenko went to a foreign country, and

00:35:59

the Bolsheviks never

00:36:04

returned the German

00:36:06

government. In the morning, the pods caught up with

00:36:10

two pods. They put us on the pod in the World Cup.

00:36:13

We were standing. The only thing was that

00:36:16

we threw the boots and brought them to

00:36:21

Zolochiv. Mom was with

00:36:23

me. so no poha

00:37:30

know father Maria barely had time for

00:37:33

the train to leave to give her daughter

00:37:35

pies on the

00:37:47

road. ВС больше я отца мать

00:37:53

[music]

00:37:55

Ne Lymovych remembers well how the Germans

00:37:59

took trains out of Ukraine, not only

00:38:01

people were robbed of all valuable property and

00:38:04

even the

00:38:07

land, then the organization of Ukrainian

00:38:09

nationalists in Volyn called on people to

00:38:12

help to destroy a part of the road

00:38:15

surface, people at 10 o'clock in the evening all

00:38:19

left Kichilsk with crowbars, keys,

00:38:24

other

00:38:25

tools, went to destroy And how many

00:38:28

kilometers were dismantled, 12 km, and that after

00:38:32

this action, the Germans did not drive on this road

00:38:35

No, well, no, well, there were no tracks, how did they drive,

00:38:39

of course, they did not drive on foot it was known

00:38:42

that the Ukrainian Insurgent Army was

00:38:44

founded by the order of Roman Shukhevych on

00:38:47

October 14, 1942, on the Feast of the Intercession, however, the

00:38:52

first small units of Ukrainian

00:38:53

nationalists appeared in Western

00:38:55

Ukraine already in the fall of 1941.

00:39:05

Cousin Magpies Platon stood up so nicely, I'm

00:39:17

taking your attention. And you wanted to go there, of course,

00:39:21

we both wanted to go, as I went to the

00:39:25

ATO in Kirovohrad. I also went, they say you're an

00:39:28

old man, you're not suitable.

00:39:34

back if I don't

00:39:37

run, then I don't eat, and if I run, then

00:39:40

I can go there. We don't

00:39:43

need them. We don't need them. a

00:40:04

small

00:40:07

Polish town in the west of the country was

00:40:10

almost

00:40:14

unknown to anyone, the area there was swampy, damp,

00:40:17

smelly, and even the Poles were reluctant to enter.

00:40:20

In these

00:40:22

places, life seemed to have bypassed Auschwitz for many years,

00:40:29

until the Germans put a guard here

00:40:37

[music]

00:40:42

death so всё ето вольнительно

00:40:45

у меня сейчас в the soul is like a

00:40:48

taut string that you know all the

00:40:50

time all the time it trembles

00:40:55

famously she yes

00:40:56

labor makes us free you

00:41:00

certainly don’t remember her No of course of

00:41:03

course I hold her hand tightly and

00:41:06

feel the excitement that

00:41:09

covers both of us with a wave even before its discovery

00:41:11

in the early 40s Auschwitz was an old,

00:41:15

long-abandoned tobacco factory with

00:41:17

several barrack-type buildings. Later,

00:41:21

the Germans settled in them the prisoners brought to the camp.

00:41:41

ваш может быть

00:41:45

всё может быть that is, not mine, but

00:41:48

rather your

00:41:50

[music]

00:41:55

parents

00:41:58

here, probably, except for silence, nothing

00:42:01

can be said, because this shoe is screaming itself.

00:42:23

outside

00:42:26

eyes, the fascists were shooting

00:42:30

prisoners, and it seems to both of us that the walls

00:42:34

around us are crying out. And

00:42:37

still, as they say, memory is needed for the undead,

00:42:42

memory is needed for the

00:42:46

living. God, I never thought that I

00:42:49

would have to go through another war. It

00:42:52

seemed to me that it was all over and now.

00:42:56

Yes, somehow оно будет Well, let's hope,

00:43:01

let's hope for it, let's

00:43:05

do everything, Lord,

00:43:11

death, but the most emotional meeting with Hanna

00:43:14

Mykhailivna is yet to come, the woman will finally

00:43:17

find out what secret her

00:43:19

number on her arm hides, when and from where she was brought

00:43:23

to the death camp, and who her parents could have been.

00:43:33

I don’t forget, because there is nothing

00:43:36

more dear to me, the

00:43:43

process of occupation of Ukraine by the German

00:43:46

army lasted until July

00:43:49

42. However, despite numerous losses,

00:43:52

soon the entire territory of the country was

00:43:55

under occupation by the

00:44:00

Nazis, and this was the beginning of a new

00:44:03

order in the life of

00:44:07

Ukrainians since the mother died in front of little

00:44:10

Ivan, the boy is no longer

00:44:12

I returned to my native village, I wandered around

00:44:15

Zaporozhye, torn, hungry and

00:44:19

lonely. I dug a dugout, covered it and

00:44:24

hid there. In the summer, of course, everything was, and in the winter,

00:44:29

of course, people had to take milk,

00:44:33

bread, and so on.

00:44:49

the orphans still had a chance

00:44:54

to survive

00:44:58

after the full German occupation,

00:45:00

another disaster came to Ukraine,

00:45:04

hunger, this was especially felt in the big

00:45:07

cities already at the end of the fall of 1941,

00:45:11

the food supplies of the townspeople ran out, and the

00:45:13

women and children who remained

00:45:16

face to face with the enemy faced a new question:

00:45:19

how to survive the winter,

00:45:23

we exchanged went out to the bazaar and

00:45:25

what? Who was looking for this kind of technology,

00:45:28

that means they say they go and ask, do you have a

00:45:31

blanket there? Do you have a blanket? Do

00:45:34

you have spoons? In

00:45:40

November, we had nothing in our house,

00:45:43

not even a table lamp,

00:45:45

because someone also really

00:45:47

needed it. And I was very worried because

00:45:49

I loved this table lamp so much, it

00:45:52

was just a kind of light for me.

00:46:03

we have something to eat I really want to

00:46:07

eat

00:46:12

[music]

00:46:20

Somewhere already on December 20, we did

00:46:23

n't have anything here at all, we were given

00:46:26

one bulb, we divided it into three days

00:46:29

and we had to think about what else we

00:46:31

can come up with so that we can

00:46:37

will survive here I mean, I was also just at

00:46:40

the bazaar

00:46:44

Galya, you don't know where I can

00:46:48

find New Year's decorations here in Kyiv.

00:46:50

You, my daughter, came up with a Christmas tree and

00:46:53

soon my son is asking for New Year. But here people have

00:46:56

nothing to eat, I remembered that I have there

00:46:59

are Christmas tree toys, aunty, I have

00:47:02

Christmas tree ornaments, but I'm really

00:47:05

close here, just wait for me,

00:47:08

the sled forgot me, I brought

00:47:13

the toys now, she gave me a bag of potatoes, about

00:47:16

200 kilos, no

00:47:19

more. Well, we shared these potatoes with my

00:47:21

mother.

00:47:23

there was one potato left

00:47:26

instead of a

00:47:30

star, I came up with

00:47:34

[music]

00:47:36

it seems that the top will be the best

00:47:40

and that's how we met the New Year,

00:47:43

we spread dad's letters around the Christmas tree,

00:47:45

read them once again, my dear

00:47:48

girls, the Christmas tree and the branch, not everything is going well,

00:47:53

we are preparing for the defense because the enemy is very

00:47:56

close, but don't worry too much soon

00:47:59

we will win and I will return home to the city I

00:48:03

kiss and hug your

00:48:07

Zakhar

00:48:09

Hold me tight with

00:48:12

one hand so strong and tender Well, in

00:48:18

the morning when we got up already on January 1,

00:48:21

1942, my mother cooked a potato, we

00:48:24

cut it and put it on a plate with such

00:48:27

pieces so that it was beautiful and for my mother and

00:48:31

me. Well, they made such a small

00:48:36

New Year's holiday for themselves. 76 years have passed since the hungry 41st,

00:48:40

and she still hasn't betrayed her

00:48:42

childhood

00:48:44

memories, because in winter, while decorating the Christmas tree,

00:48:48

Eleonora Zacharivna hangs potatoes on it.

00:48:57

not at all like the whole year.

00:48:59

For some reason, I don't

00:49:02

know, for the other heroine of our film,

00:49:05

Khrystyna Higer, life during the German

00:49:07

occupation in Lviv was imprinted in the

00:49:09

memory not

00:49:12

by hunger, but by the loss of everything they

00:49:18

had. I remember how Pavel and I played

00:49:22

on the floor because in the room there was no

00:49:24

furniture, we had no toys left, and later

00:49:28

00:49:34

would happen to

00:49:45

00:49:48

00:51:16

instrument great

00:51:23

choice tomorrow deliver it to my

00:51:43

apartment [music] [music] after the war, we hoped to get

00:51:46

this piano back, because dad

00:51:49

put his brand stamp on it, the

00:51:51

Higer, he told Paulina's mother, the Germans

00:51:55

will leave and you will see your piano

00:52:00

again.

00:52:12

Lemberg, when the Empire collapsed,

00:52:15

the Ukrainians fought for Lviv with the Poles,

00:52:17

however, in the end, in 1919, Lviv became a

00:52:21

Polish city and it was like that until the 39th. I

00:52:43

used to live here,

00:52:46

you can visit. Please come in,

00:52:52

thank you, Maryana Taleka, the current residents of the

00:52:56

former apartment of higers,

00:53:00

this was our dream apartment, and it was

00:53:03

in a dilapidated state when we bought it.

00:53:12

it was possible to preserve the

00:53:14

Austrian stucco on the ceiling and the

00:53:17

interior

00:53:18

door. Khrystyna touched them too. And

00:53:22

I will touch them. At the end of 1941, the Khigers

00:53:25

had to leave their homes and

00:53:28

settle in the barracks of the Lviv ghetto,

00:53:30

however, Khrystyna's father believed until the end that

00:53:33

this was

00:53:39

temporary.

00:53:45

They won't even see their favorite apartment on Copernicus anymore

00:53:51

[music]

00:54:06

14-year-old Maria Soyenko never went anywhere

00:54:10

to Germany, the girls were taken in

00:54:13

ordinary freight cars, they weren't fed And they were

00:54:16

n't allowed to

00:54:19

drink at all I want to drink only in the corner the

00:54:23

girls were

00:54:28

chewing

00:54:30

[music]

00:54:32

The girl who is being

00:54:35

watched is grieving, and some of them can't stand it

00:54:41

[music]

00:54:49

calm down

00:54:54

lie down lie down

00:54:55

[music]

00:54:58

hehe young

00:55:02

Moro then Maria realized that

00:55:05

not

00:55:08

everyone will get to Germany when

00:55:12

the train stopped and there were puddles from under the cow's hooves

00:55:18

under the horses' hooves and she stood in these puddles

00:55:21

water, and we asked the escort to take

00:55:26

us out, gave us a drink, and here he was under the

00:55:31

muzzle of a

00:55:32

machine gun.

00:56:01

Anna Mykhailivna is taken to the archive to

00:56:03

the photo lab, this is a standard procedure,

00:56:06

now her photo will add to the

00:56:08

museum's memory book.

00:56:33

music]

00:56:34

children, prepare

00:56:37

them, all the new arrivals to Auschwitz, the prisoners

00:56:40

went through the so-called son processing and the children were no

00:56:44

exception, get a haircut, continue measuring,

00:56:48

fast,

00:56:51

fast, know forgiveness, endless, only

00:56:55

pain and eyes run through your veins, a

00:56:57

one-way ticket And you stand at

00:57:00

the station, barely holding on to don't leave the

00:57:03

distance in your head scroll through the life of

00:57:06

the pictures to remember everything to the last

00:57:10

drop and there's no time to hold

00:57:13

hands and it's like the hours are flying by and

00:57:18

then the train is going at crazy speed from

00:57:21

your native land covering the distance the

00:57:30

attack is ready kak teba

00:57:33

zovutmenya

00:57:39

katyastup next newbies they were immediately

00:57:48

numbered from that moment on, people

00:57:51

ceased to be

00:57:53

people

00:57:57

from now on all even children became just

00:58:00

numbers

00:58:05

[music]

00:58:13

Russian

00:58:16

pigs are dirty even in

00:58:21

childhood, I don’t forget that, most

00:58:29

likely I remembered because it was

00:58:31

painful, of

00:58:33

course photographer Tomas Pelish asks

00:58:36

Anna Mykhailivna to show her hand with a

00:58:38

tattoo, but the numbers I haven’t seen it for a long time. It

00:58:41

reminds me of a scar before I

00:58:45

went to school. About 7

00:58:47

years ago, mom and dad decided to remove his number. They

00:58:52

cut it out. I remember the clinic. I remember

00:58:55

everything.

00:59:01

to the memory of the girl, all mentions of the horrors of

00:59:04

Auschwitz, because who knows what would have happened if

00:59:08

she remembered

00:59:12

everything, but for each of our heroes, the war

00:59:16

had a different taste already at the end of the winter of

00:59:18

1942, most of the inhabitants of

00:59:21

hungry Kyiv, occupied by the Germans, went to the villages

00:59:25

to earn at least some food Anu,

00:59:27

guys, stop talking, someone else has come,

00:59:30

Anu, stop shooting, I'm mine, now

00:59:35

we'll see which one you are, Ana, show me what you stole, what are you

00:59:37

carrying bread and potatoes in a bag?

00:59:47

women in the village worked. Here she

00:59:49

paid me, go where you want, just

00:59:52

leave us food, we are

00:59:55

not interesting, let's take a look at the arbitrariness of the

00:59:59

policemen who went to

01:00:01

work for the Germans during the war, sometimes it was worse

01:00:03

than the enemy

01:00:05

government, at such moments, only the clothes from her

01:00:08

favorite haberdashery warmed Elena's soul and

01:00:11

reminded about a former happy life Well, you

01:00:15

know, I already sat down in despair, I sit and

01:00:19

cry, I cry and sob And what do you think, a

01:00:22

German car stops, a

01:00:29

German has

01:00:36

arrived, what is going on here,

01:00:38

who is this girl, beat up, Mr.

01:00:41

Officer, the thief was caught, she stole the products,

01:00:45

Anuka

01:00:47

hndehoh It is true You are a little

01:00:52

thief, no, Mr. Officer

01:00:56

I earned these products when I took care of an

01:00:59

old woman in the

01:01:02

village. Now I am going home to

01:01:06

Kyiv, my mother is waiting for me there.

01:01:11

And how do you know German? My

01:01:13

mother

01:01:15

taught me she knew German well, she

01:01:18

knew a lot by heart, and my mother

01:01:20

made me learn German so that I

01:01:22

was not defenseless when you have to defend yourself against the Germans,

01:01:28

give this girl everything that was

01:01:31

taken

01:01:35

[music]

01:01:37

immediately take her to Kyiv stopped a

01:01:40

German car and ordered them to take

01:01:42

me to Kyiv

01:01:44

[music] give

01:01:45

him a ride with

01:01:48

your own hands with my little

01:01:53

lips

01:01:55

scold yourself this is your answer to your

01:01:58

the question is that people are all different, even though we are

01:02:02

Germans, that when a person is a person, they always

01:02:05

remain a person,

01:02:08

of course 70 years ago, the

01:02:11

Kyiv-Zhytomyr route looked completely different, and

01:02:14

today it is even hard to believe that a

01:02:16

little girl covered a distance of 70 km

01:02:21

on foot and you yourself walked from Peremoha to

01:02:25

Brusylova Well, this is the first time I

01:02:27

walked along this road, and I went there at

01:02:30

the beginning of

01:02:31

March. By the time I got to Brusylova,

01:02:34

my shoes didn't look like anything, and

01:02:37

how many times have you been there 17

01:02:40

17 times 17 times since March

01:02:44

42- until October

01:02:49

43, I feel so sorry for you,

01:02:52

I can't even imagine that you

01:02:55

were a little girl and you went there

01:02:58

so much, there was no way

01:03:08

out for me, frdynan, I didn't know how to recruit and tigers

01:03:12

fdynan, the

01:03:14

battle on the Kursk arc from July

01:03:17

to August 43 became a turning point

01:03:20

in the Second World War, it lasted for almost two

01:03:23

months, it was the largest clash of

01:03:26

huge masses of troops,

01:03:29

more than 4 million soldiers from both

01:03:31

sides took part in the battles, 70,000 guns and mortars, 13,000

01:03:36

tanks and 12,000

01:03:38

aircraft, and the victory of the Soviet Army in

01:03:41

this battle finally turned the tide of

01:03:44

the war Therefore Kharkiv was liberated very soon,

01:03:47

and Zaporizhzhia a little later, and

01:03:53

then, of

01:03:55

course, there was a lot of joy because

01:03:59

it was our guys who came as

01:04:03

liberators, and I went to Takmak to the

01:04:08

military enlistment office. The parents who died in the military enlistment office

01:04:12

knew that the father was killed in a Finnish

01:04:16

raid. The mother was shot in the 1940s.

01:04:19

Everything was known. And I was the only one who

01:04:22

warmed them up. Everything will be good, yes. Andryukha,

01:04:31

bye. Comrade commander. Please

01:04:35

allow me to contact you. They say that they sent me from the military enlistment office.

01:04:38

They say that they are orphans. They asked me to take them on a

01:04:40

temporary allowance.

01:04:42

Who are you, Ivan

01:04:46

Vanya? Where did you come from? The doe, the

01:04:49

Finnish folder, the Germans

01:04:52

shot the mother, and he hid you.

01:04:56

I waited to wash, feed and change clothes, and there we will

01:05:01

see.

01:05:22

them

01:05:27

[music]

01:05:33

At home, after the Battle of the Kursk Arc, the

01:05:36

next largest Soviet

01:05:38

operation was the Battle for the Dnipro and

01:05:42

the long-suffering Kyiv, after almost 700

01:05:44

days of German occupation, sank again in

01:05:49

the flames, they began to advance on Kyiv and ours

01:05:52

began to bomb Kyiv. So we survived in

01:05:55

Kyiv when the Germans bombed us

01:05:58

once, and then they bombed us the second

01:06:05

time, Kiev was finally liberated from the Germans on

01:06:08

November 6,

01:06:12

1943, but

01:06:15

one of the heroines of our film,

01:06:18

Mariya Sayenko, who was forcibly expelled to Germany, could not have known about this.

01:06:28

but they brought us just as it was

01:06:32

harvest time, they were mowing the bread, and already the owner

01:06:36

came and the distribution started. In

01:06:39

which district, where to send whom, well, they

01:06:44

had a queue for rural work.

01:06:47

After several weeks spent on the

01:06:50

road, Maria Sayenko and the other

01:06:53

girls were finally brought to the German

01:06:55

town of Shchytyn, right next to the train, the Germans

01:06:59

set up a bazaar where

01:07:01

people were sold for one girl, they asked about 18

01:07:05

marks, how much

01:07:08

she has according to the documents 14 But these Russians

01:07:13

always have a mess in the documentation, it looks like

01:07:16

she has

01:07:19

15 teeth a a

01:07:24

[music]

01:07:33

OK, I'll take her, agree to

01:07:36

the farm will be a maid for my

01:07:48

girls sit down

01:07:52

quickly

01:07:56

from this day Maria became a slave of a

01:07:59

German

01:08:07

farmer real slavery prevailed

01:08:10

during the war and in the Lviv ghetto

01:08:13

today it is difficult to define its borders,

01:08:15

but it is known that since November 41 the Germans

01:08:19

drove there more than 136,000 Jews, among

01:08:23

them there was a family Christina

01:08:26

Higer, in the ghetto we lived in an apartment with

01:08:29

one room and a kitchen, my parents worked, my

01:08:33

mother worked in the Yaniv camp, she

01:08:36

sewed German uniforms, and my father

01:08:40

also worked as a carpenter in the

01:08:42

ghetto. Tell me about the concert

01:08:44

organized by Zhimek, the commandant of the

01:08:50

ghetto, he gathered Jews in the school,

01:08:55

invited musicians and forced them

01:08:58

to play after the turning points on the Kursk

01:09:01

arc, the commandant of Yulag, the murderer and sadist,

01:09:04

Josef Gzymyk seems to have decided to take revenge for the

01:09:07

defeat of the German soldiers at

01:09:10

the front, so he devised a cunning and cruel

01:09:16

plan, let's

01:12:41

[music]

01:12:48

when after the war in Warsaw there was a trial

01:12:51

of a gzymyk. My father taught him a

01:12:55

gzymyk until the end.

01:13:05

lowered his eyes and admitted

01:13:08

his guilt before the execution, he said to

01:13:11

his father, I knew that you would be one of the

01:13:14

few who

01:13:17

would survive to escape from the trap alive, the

01:13:20

IKI units managed to take the

01:13:24

children and, together with the others, hid in a place

01:13:27

where they were not searched, however, no one knew whether

01:13:30

they would survive

01:13:32

[music]

01:13:35

there, when the old Auschwitz became too small for

01:13:39

hundreds of thousands of new prisoners, 3 km

01:13:42

from it, since 1943, the Nazis

01:13:46

created a new

01:13:49

Birkinao camp, every day death trains brought

01:13:54

people here, probably it was here that

01:13:57

Hanna

01:13:59

Mykhailivna ended up, our guide Urshula Zetner leads

01:14:02

us to one of the surviving wooden

01:14:04

barracks. This is the so-called sanitary

01:14:08

room. Twice a day, the Germans

01:14:11

brought prisoners here to fulfill

01:14:14

ordinary human needs. What is this

01:14:18

toilet?

01:14:23

the camp has no place for

01:14:27

intimacy, you have to beat the shame, they

01:14:30

all come together, the group occupies each

01:14:34

hole, a few seconds and a half minutes, no

01:14:38

longer, they are kidnapped because they are already waiting for

01:14:40

others to catch up Well, this is very

01:14:43

humiliating, the most probably was for them and the

01:14:46

Germans, it is valuable, this will humiliate the man, pour

01:14:49

his dignity человексого And

01:14:52

after that, you can see what you

01:14:54

want, that's what it was, and that was the purpose of

01:14:57

this whole humiliation, while stunned by the

01:15:00

shocking details of life. In the camp, we

01:15:02

go to one of the surviving children's

01:15:05

barracks.

01:15:11

from other premises,

01:15:14

it is built of

01:15:20

brick, on the walls there are authentic

01:15:25

real drawings that were written by

01:15:28

some unknown prisoner. And how many

01:15:31

children were there in general?

01:15:43

separate rooms, and in one

01:15:47

such room

01:15:50

the warden slept. You know, when I was a child,

01:15:54

when I was in Kiev in the first years,

01:15:56

I was afraid to sleep at night because

01:16:01

I always dreamed of the face

01:16:03

of the warden who took us for

01:16:07

blood sampling, but she always seemed to me

01:16:11

like parsley such and such a clown, and here she was

01:16:16

looking in, and then she stretched out

01:16:18

her hands to me, and I began to

01:16:22

scream. Most likely, she was probably

01:16:25

German, because she had, you know, how

01:16:28

they say, cold, cold

01:16:31

eyes like that, I remember that kind of look that

01:16:35

pierced with

01:16:39

cold, although the Germans were very proud of their

01:16:42

purity Arisko radio, but it didn't stop

01:16:45

them from the

01:16:47

east. Excuse the savages, they took blood

01:16:50

for

01:16:52

themselves. They were transferred to soft soldiers. This was

01:16:55

one of the methods of treatment, because

01:16:58

children's blood regenerates well. the

01:17:11

third group, because I think that this is a

01:17:15

less sought-after blood group, if it

01:17:18

were the first one, then I certainly would not

01:17:20

have waited for the liberation of the concentration camp

01:17:24

because the children from the first

01:17:26

group were being sucked out of the blood

01:17:30

[music]

01:17:40

this is completely over, bear it

01:17:44

quickly

01:17:45

[music]

01:17:50

quickly, later on, the fact of the violent

01:17:53

donations will force those who survived in

01:17:55

concentration camps to hide their

01:18:01

past because for saving German

01:18:03

soldiers with their blood, the USSR Armed Forces considered them

01:18:18

traitors [music] We managed to find a

01:18:21

unique film shot by Soviet

01:18:24

documentarians immediately after the arrival of

01:18:26

little Hana to Kyiv, her

01:18:29

future Ukrainian adoptive mother is on it Anisia

01:18:32

zazinko gives her

01:18:43

blood to a girl, she was an annochka, she was in a Nazi

01:18:47

camp, Anisia Petrovna winter sheltered a

01:18:50

girl, replaced her, Hey mother, a

01:18:53

typical Soviet propaganda

01:18:55

film.

01:19:08

in these

01:19:12

numbers, when the little girl was brought to

01:19:15

the camp and where she came from,

01:19:17

she will hear all the answers

01:19:21

here

01:19:24

[music],

01:19:33

and the newly-minted son of the regiment, Ivan

01:19:36

Trofimovych, meanwhile, was entrusted with the

01:19:39

first dangerous task of reconnaissance

01:19:42

to

01:19:43

the enemy's rear.

01:19:51

I had to

01:19:55

report this to the commanding staff.

01:20:05

Raise your hand. Who is he?

01:20:09

Where are you

01:20:17

going? What is

01:20:20

Karl Shguna?

01:21:01

This is for

01:21:05

you

01:21:09

[music],

01:21:14

take

01:21:15

it, our policemen will find it hard, it

01:21:19

was difficult for him to

01:21:21

escape,

01:21:24

they are our people, only they

01:21:28

surrendered, and they turned me over to the

01:21:34

commandant's office. They certainly beat me

01:21:38

well so that I confessed. I was

01:21:49

already covered in blood and they

01:21:55

threw me out, take him to

01:21:58

the cemetery, now his place is

01:22:03

there, Karl, water, bring me hot

01:22:10

water from the neighboring regiment,

01:22:14

the reconnaissance came back in the morning and they picked me up. Well,

01:22:19

they knew me too. I lay in the trench for

01:22:23

probably a few days, and I slowly,

01:22:28

slowly,

01:22:30

survived, and then of course I I

01:22:33

was already a little smarter. And you weren't afraid

01:22:37

to die. There is no death. Patriotism was

01:22:41

such that everyone tried to

01:22:46

contribute at least some part of it to this

01:22:49

war. That at

01:22:53

least something would destroy the

01:22:56

enemy in this forest under the Krychylsk.

01:22:59

Semyon Soroka fought with his enemies, but

01:23:02

only now they and Ivan Trofimovych

01:23:05

had different enemies, when

01:23:07

the German-Soviet front approached the

01:23:09

western borders of Ukraine, now

01:23:12

again in Soviet Volyn and Galicia,

01:23:14

another war began between the UPA and

01:23:18

NKVD detachments of the small groundhog in the Rebellion,

01:23:21

but they entrusted you with mandatory work,

01:23:28

because they could to stop with this

01:23:31

letter to stop I'm honest with you I would

01:23:34

eat it I would eat it I would eat it I would eat it silently I would eat it

01:23:43

all together

01:23:46

let's go let's go let's go let's take take take take

01:23:50

take some more

01:24:06

Finally, 3 minutes to relax,

01:24:17

Tytorenko,

01:24:19

take him alive, he will deliver

01:24:40

faster.

01:25:34

Our younger

01:25:37

brother has

01:25:39

already died, let go of the ego, the car is

01:25:43

alive and

01:25:46

free. This is how, practically at the

01:25:49

same time, both heroes of our film

01:25:51

fought on different sides of that war, and even

01:25:54

many years after it, each of

01:25:57

them kept their views to

01:26:00

themselves, and by the way, you I had a pseudo I

01:26:04

had an ash tree pseudo And why an ash tree? Well,

01:26:07

I took it. I know that it’s good. It’s good.

01:26:11

The tree

01:26:13

is strong, and it was planted and it worked. I

01:26:17

was such that I was

01:26:19

n’t afraid of anything. The

01:26:23

place near the Zamastynov flyover

01:26:26

today is almost the center of Lviv. It’s noisy

01:26:29

and crowded. Once upon a time, the

01:26:32

border of the Lviv ghetto lay here, and it is possible that this is where

01:26:38

the most difficult period in

01:26:42

the life of Khrystyna Higer and her family began. Today, the exact unknown place

01:26:45

where the Higers went down to the sewers is unknown,

01:26:48

but some researchers point to

01:26:51

this very entrance, and if the camera could transmit

01:26:53

smells, you would immediately feel it this terrible

01:26:59

[music]

01:27:03

stench during the brutal shooting of the

01:27:06

Jews in the sports hall, the Higers managed to

01:27:08

escape, and Khrystyna's father already knew exactly

01:27:12

where he would hide his

01:27:15

family, the father thought a lot about the place

01:27:19

where the Germans would definitely not go. He said that

01:27:23

they would not go to the sewers, they would

01:27:26

rather throw a grenade but they will

01:27:29

not go

01:27:33

underground, the escape was not

01:27:36

spontaneous, Ignatius prepared for it

01:27:38

in advance, first with like-minded people, he

01:27:41

dug the entrance to the tunnel and then even

01:27:43

agreed with the sewer workers to

01:27:46

help future escapees, it is true that

01:27:49

silence and food cost

01:27:52

a lot of money, but in order to save his

01:27:55

family, Higer was ready to give

01:28:10

everything together with the Higers in the chaos and panic

01:28:14

that was happening on the mountain,

01:28:16

ten more Jews went down to the tunnel

01:28:19

Kshisu Love everything will be OK do

01:28:23

n't take it easy let's

01:28:27

go My father said and I listened to

01:28:31

him He said that this is the only place where we

01:28:34

can stay in

01:28:36

[music]

01:28:46

alive I remember that I wanted to go in my

01:28:49

new sandals, they were white, very

01:28:52

beautiful sandals, but my mother said

01:28:55

Put them on, I said I want sandals

01:29:00

and my mother said in the place where we are going, don't

01:29:03

wear sandals, I didn't listen to

01:29:08

her and I went anyway in the sewer in these

01:29:20

sandals

01:29:27

don't stop something Let's go

01:29:31

faster No it's paskaka I won't go shmiel

01:29:36

come back don't leave me

01:29:45

[music] hier

01:29:49

zamaye You broke the agreement for We

01:29:54

'll pay we won't be able to feed

01:29:56

such a

01:29:57

crowd how much

01:30:00

do you say 500 zlotys

01:30:06

each

01:30:08

okay here's a loaf of bread and

01:30:10

we'll bring a couple of potatoes tomorrow,

01:30:13

you'll pay as much tomorrow, so

01:30:29

soon we all had to become one

01:30:33

family, although sometimes there were arguments between us,

01:30:36

but most of the time we

01:30:48

got along well, my father organized everything there so that

01:30:51

we could leave lyums, he wrote satire poems, he

01:30:55

even did something like a theater there

01:30:58

were roles for everyone, most of them were very

01:31:02

funny because my father said if you

01:31:05

laugh you can pass Many

01:31:09

[music]

01:31:11

trials I dreamed that I was a prisoner

01:31:14

of the Jews they made me read the Torah

01:31:18

and eat rshmak widow Hitler kaput Hitler

01:31:22

kaput

01:31:26

Hitler Kapu Hitler

01:31:29

kaput Hitler

01:31:31

kaput Hitler is

01:31:34

kaput Hitler is kaput I remember that once a

01:31:37

week We sang songs that my father

01:31:40

wrote to fill our

01:31:44

minds with something because when you sit in one

01:31:47

place You can go crazy or

01:31:51

turn into an

01:31:52

animal What did you eat How did you

01:31:56

wash once a week Mom is cute my

01:32:00

face and once a week we washed my clothes in

01:32:05

clean water that my

01:32:08

father brought, my hair was cut because my

01:32:11

mother was afraid that I would get

01:32:15

lice,

01:32:17

Mom, I will look like a

01:32:20

boy now, no, my

01:32:22

dear, stay a beautiful girl

01:32:28

[music]

01:32:36

[music]

01:32:43

nya the husband left the genie He ran away And she

01:32:49

stayed and carried her pregnancy all the time

01:32:52

I remember that she always

01:32:55

wore a black hoodie and walked like that

01:32:59

to hide her

01:33:03

belly, but later it was time to give birth

01:33:07

My father accepted the birth I

01:33:09

remember how he cut the

01:33:12

umbilical cord with dirty scissors Was it a

01:33:15

boy or a girl Was it a

01:33:20

boy

01:33:27

[music] did

01:33:41

you hear the news from the

01:33:44

front Yes my cousin is writing there now That the

01:33:48

Russians are like real dogs

01:33:55

It definitely turned out to be better to go through three

01:33:58

French companies and not a single

01:34:01

Russian one what is this where the child is from here

01:34:05

Let's go and

01:34:20

check

01:34:26

what

01:34:29

[applause]

01:34:42

it just happened that she strangled her child

01:34:50

the womb

01:34:58

[music]

01:35:05

for me she was a brave woman because you

01:35:10

have to be really brave to

01:35:13

kill your own

01:35:16

child she saved 10

01:35:20

people

01:35:22

if the baby kept crying we would have been

01:35:26

found However I think that after the war she

01:35:50

suffered a lot it was

01:35:57

not a sweet life in captivity and Maria Sayenko

01:36:00

every day she had to wear a dress with a

01:36:03

humiliating mark

01:36:05

Ost worker from the

01:36:08

east besides Maria there was also a

01:36:11

Polish guy named Mateusz who worked on the farm Poles were not

01:36:14

branded like

01:36:18

[music]

01:36:20

Ukrainians

01:36:24

Sorry I didn't do it

01:36:27

on purpose Good

01:36:29

morning

01:36:31

Thank you Maria where are you where are ours where

01:36:36

did the breakfast go, damn it, the

01:36:39

girl was a German farmer, her name was Emil,

01:36:43

he had two daughters and a wife,

01:36:50

Elsa, she was

01:36:52

terrible,

01:36:55

sorry, sorry, Emil, why did you

01:36:59

take this clumsy Malian girl, and not a

01:37:01

fat Russian girl who would do everything

01:37:04

well, please, Elsa, she understands everything

01:37:10

when I just arrived I in a

01:37:13

month, in a month, I learned everything. Well,

01:37:18

as they said, I memorized all of this

01:37:22

and repeated all of this

01:37:27

from hunger. Maria sometimes

01:37:30

licked the plates with leftover food, but

01:37:33

the most terrible thing for the girl was the

01:37:35

cruelty of the

01:37:38

hostess. It's

01:37:47

not like that, she will definitely beat me

01:37:54

[applause]

01:37:59

[music]

01:38:02

01:39:45

sorry that I did not ask her at all, I did not

01:39:48

ask anything, I know that she was in

01:39:50

Germany, and she probably also experienced all this,

01:39:52

Sveta Ono меня трогало

01:39:58

трогает и будет тых пор гатат пока

01:40:01

мои глаза Ne

01:40:03

[music] the

01:40:06

long-awaited liberation of

01:40:09

Soviet Ukraine from the Germans brought

01:40:11

not only joy to the people living under occupation,

01:40:14

they were silent about it during the time of

01:40:17

the Union, but today the children of war finally

01:40:20

spoke

01:40:21

[music]

01:40:25

already in In the spring of the 44th year, the people of

01:40:29

Kyiv who were evacuated began to return, the

01:40:32

first thing that we children began

01:40:35

to feel was that they began to insult us,

01:40:39

that we were traitors, what do we mean, German

01:40:42

shepherds, that was for us This was already an

01:40:44

accepted nickname and they started us.

01:40:48

they insulted us and began to oppress us in

01:40:51

some way every time and make us

01:40:53

understand that we are people of the second

01:40:56

[music]

01:40:59

class And where are you, Zinka, did you go missing during the occupation, did you

01:41:03

go for a walk with the poor,

01:41:08

that Petrivna I was in the Urals with my relatives,

01:41:12

I worked there at the factory From morning to

01:41:16

night And did you hear that Comrade Stalin

01:41:20

proposed to remove from Ukraine all those who

01:41:22

remained with the Germans because they are

01:41:25

traitors to the family and enemies of the people,

01:41:30

who is this traitor to the enemy of the people, is

01:41:33

it Galina or her daughter, Oh, you [ __ ],

01:41:37

she was walking there somewhere in the Urals, and they are

01:41:40

here like that experienced what neither you nor your

01:41:42

Urals

01:41:49

dreamed of

01:41:53

[music]

01:42:12

dear comrade Stalin My name is

01:42:15

Elya I am 13 years old my father went to

01:42:20

the front when the Germans came to Kyiv, my

01:42:23

mother and I had nowhere to go so we stayed

01:42:27

at home it was difficult Mother was sick we

01:42:32

were starving and now we they are called

01:42:34

traitors and German shepherds,

01:42:38

she wrote to Stalin that they

01:42:39

called me that, and not only me, that we

01:42:41

were never traitors, and I would like to know

01:42:45

why we were left in the occupation, please

01:42:47

investigate this and who is to blame for

01:42:51

leaving me here, it is necessary after all

01:42:54

somehow I mean him, I will reprimand him, take

01:42:56

out Moscow, the Kremlin,

01:43:04

Stalin, and what's next. And what's next, they waited for an

01:43:08

answer. There was no answer. Thank God,

01:43:11

but it was also dangerous. Well, did I

01:43:14

think about the danger? It was me later, when

01:43:16

several years later I told my mother that Mother

01:43:19

drank valerian after that's why

01:43:22

we were somehow very sad and not sweet,

01:43:25

and imagine that a lot of my

01:43:28

peers have already left this life.

01:43:40

we were leaving, then we

01:43:43

were in Grafach, we were under

01:43:44

occupation, however, the biggest test

01:43:47

at that time fell on the shoulders of the little

01:43:49

boy Semen,

01:43:51

today he is almost

01:43:53

90, with a heavy heart, he leads us to the very

01:43:57

place in the forest where the

01:43:59

fiercest battles were fought between Ukrainian

01:44:02

rebels and

01:44:05

NKVD fighters, fires were burning in vain let's boil

01:44:08

now, let's drink and go, get the

01:44:16

guys up, the

01:44:18

Ngbi detachment was located in Tselikichilsk, they

01:44:22

got up in the morning, and there in the morning,

01:44:25

this little house is good, and they grabbed it, ran

01:44:36

to the swamp, they laid down. Comrade, the

01:44:39

commander, he rises from there.

01:44:48

I'll be waiting from the side of the village, let's

01:44:51

01:45:03

cement, where to the platoon, get down, warn the

01:45:12

platon boy, stand up, brother, run away, the

01:45:30

01:46:17

commander was a fresh bastard, he

01:46:28

started

01:46:33

to scream, because I was lying there in the swamp, I heard everything.

01:46:37

He shouted that he was going to shoot, he called

01:46:41

him terrible words, and he said that

01:46:45

he was shooting, the name of

01:46:49

the family,

01:46:59

01:48:19

sammovk you

01:48:21

know

01:48:23

who I am for this

01:48:25

Plato I want to say that I was so

01:48:29

upset it was

01:48:31

terrible I didn't

01:48:35

sleep for a week he was standing in my eyes

01:48:44

it was terrible

01:48:46

At the same time in the same way, somewhere in

01:48:49

Volyn, Ivan Trufymovich's war ended

01:48:51

because he never returned from another mission,

01:49:00

although I knew how the fields were mined.

01:49:05

Well, there was so much grass covered there that

01:49:10

I didn't notice and an

01:49:15

explosive wave started and pushed me away, that

01:49:20

is, it threw me away I'm

01:49:26

alive, the kid is ticking, I need to go to the hospital alive,

01:49:31

I'm off, I don't remember anything anymore.

01:49:36

In the hospital, our doctor woke up. He

01:49:42

said that you shouldn't have been there.

01:49:47

You're talking in a shirt. You were

01:49:49

born. You were born with a

01:49:50

head contusion. Your hearing was

01:49:54

affected. Your teeth were affected. Other people's eyes were operated on.

01:49:59

или две

01:50:03

выташчили Осколки с меня Well,

01:50:07

they pulled out shards

01:50:09

somewhere in a half-liter

01:50:13

can in the hospital, Ivan Trofymovich

01:50:16

was laid up for several months, and after his recovery,

01:50:20

the boy was sent to an

01:50:23

orphanage, well

01:50:26

[music]

01:50:28

started on July 27, 1944 When the Germans

01:50:33

finally left Lviv, he ran into one of the

01:50:35

Lviv houses alarmed

01:50:38

man

01:50:40

[music]

01:50:42

feelings

01:50:43

with It was the same Polish sewage worker

01:50:47

named

01:50:49

Sokha,

01:50:55

who is

01:51:00

arguing in his chest, sir, in the middle, alone, the

01:51:04

countdown of

01:51:07

irreversibility is about to begin, as if the air has been

01:51:10

blocked through

01:51:14

You can hear

01:51:15

me, You

01:51:18

Will, all the free

01:51:20

Germans have gone

01:51:22

everyone is free from the city

01:51:27

and I will not be with you again soon,

01:51:33

I will not

01:51:40

forget you, my relatives. When we climbed the mountain,

01:51:42

Pavlo started to have a tantrum, he wanted to

01:51:46

go back, he

01:51:48

thought that there was only a

01:51:51

sewer, he did not remember the other world,

01:51:54

and what did you see? I

01:51:58

couldn't see anything. Everything seemed

01:52:02

bright yellow. People's faces were as if in a

01:52:05

fog, but over time, My eyes got used to the

01:52:11

light. On this day, each of them

01:52:14

remembered forever, because for the first time in 414

01:52:18

days of living in the dark,

01:52:20

they saw

01:52:22

[music]

01:52:27

Sun, I'm not you

01:52:31

I forget because there is

01:52:45

no one closer to me. Polish historian Lena Kubica

01:52:48

has been researching the fate of children in Auschwitz for 40 years. After

01:52:52

hearing the story of Hanna Stryshkova

01:52:55

and learning her camp number, Ms.

01:52:57

Helina, I am sure that the girl arrived at

01:53:00

Auschwitz Birkinau in December 1943 and

01:53:04

was placed in the Barak at number

01:53:08

16, so Anna probably you were in this

01:53:12

barrack barrack number Unfortunately,

01:53:16

most of the barracks did not. During the

01:53:21

Soviet Army's offensive, now only the furnace

01:53:24

chimneys remind people of that hell.

01:53:27

After the destruction of the camp, almost 60,000

01:53:31

prisoners were evacuated by the Nazis to the depths of

01:53:33

Germany as free labor,

01:53:42

the weakest remained in the camp On January 27, 1945, at 3

01:53:47

o'clock in the afternoon, the gates of the main camp were

01:53:49

opened by Soviet soldiers. What they saw

01:53:52

shocked

01:54:05

everyone [music] on that day. Hanna stryshkova still

01:54:09

considers it her birthday

01:54:13

[music]

01:54:21

[music]

01:54:35

take it, baby, it's sugar, ordinary

01:54:41

sugar, uncle, she doesn't know Что такое

01:54:48

01:54:50

[music]

01:54:58

the Red Army freed

01:55:01

7,500 prisoners, including 650 children.

01:55:07

There were such babies who were taken out of the

01:55:10

camp by nurses, and such children did not remember

01:55:13

where they came from, what their surnames were, then they

01:55:17

were sent to orphanages or married, and they

01:55:19

raised them as their own. you do

01:55:24

n't want your own mother, let me

01:55:31

walk with unsteady steps Hanna

01:55:34

Mykhailovna walks through the ruins of the Barak at number

01:55:36

16, where she spent several years of her

01:55:39

childhood and maybe It is here that the former

01:55:42

Branka without giving her place of birth will remember

01:55:46

something important about her

01:55:48

life

01:55:56

damned Russia damned war instead the day of

01:56:01

the end of the war did not come a major event

01:56:04

in Maria Sayenko's life,

01:56:06

no one told her sooner about the advance of the Soviet troops.

01:56:09

And when the front was already very

01:56:11

close, the German owners poked their heels

01:56:14

from the shield, fighting repression from the

01:56:16

Soviet soldiers, put them here,

01:56:20

they left. And I

01:56:23

refused, I said I will not go with you

01:56:26

Let's go with

01:56:27

us, it's

01:56:31

dangerous to stay at home, you can be punished.

01:56:34

After all, you worked for the

01:56:36

Germans. Maria,

01:56:42

let's go. Your mother is shaking. Sit down.

01:56:46

Wait for my dishes. In

01:57:09

1945, Maria Sayenko did not know how to go

01:57:13

home to her native Kharkiv Oblast. She would

01:57:15

arrive

01:57:18

six months later,

01:57:20

but her humiliation would not end there,

01:57:23

because the Soviet

01:57:26

motherland prepared a special

01:57:30

reception for a million people like her.

01:57:42

your tickets are going to the west [music]

01:57:50

and the girl in the green sweater left

01:57:53

Lviv

01:57:56

forever, my father was afraid to live in the

01:57:58

Soviet Union after the war, because

01:58:01

once we were bourgeois, we

01:58:05

could be sent to Siberia at any moment,

01:58:13

documents,

01:58:16

documents, and only chance

01:58:18

allowed us to

01:58:20

illegally leave to

01:58:23

Kraków road Road

01:58:26

on

01:58:28

hold hold him we take

01:58:32

him we left Lviv at the last minute

01:58:36

and went

01:58:43

[music]

01:58:48

somewhere

01:58:49

in Kraków Paulina and Ignatius lived

01:58:52

for 13 years Here in this house on the

01:58:55

fourth floor but when the children

01:58:58

grew up they emigrated to Israel further

01:59:02

their traces are

01:59:07

lost Velikaya The Patriotic War

01:59:11

ended victoriously. Germany was completely

01:59:17

defeated. The joyful news of the

01:59:19

Soviet victory in that war could not

01:59:22

overshadow the pain of losses for millions of

01:59:29

Ukrainians. Among them was the girl Elya,

01:59:33

who went to the station every day hoping to

01:59:35

meet

01:59:44

Tatalo and gently kill him from the war. There

01:59:48

was no more news from him.

01:59:51

never, I still think that maybe somewhere, somewhere, something will

01:59:54

be found somewhere. At least he

01:59:57

knows where he is

02:00:02

buried, and only a little girl

02:00:05

brought from a German camp has started a

02:00:09

new life. I hope she likes it. Hide it so

02:00:12

that my sister does not see.

02:00:16

Stand by the girl from the camp,

02:00:20

she is still sleeping. wait And what is this

02:00:23

[music]

02:00:25

this

02:00:26

[music]

02:00:28

Oh, what have you collected? Well, this is a hospital, not a circus,

02:00:33

dear girl. Well, let us pass. Well,

02:00:37

this is a

02:00:38

medicine. do

02:00:46

n't tell anyone, you're a good girl, I see,

02:00:51

let's help us save

02:00:58

the child. Well, let's go quickly.

02:01:04

Thank you. Mom says that I was very afraid of

02:01:07

people in white coats. She says that you

02:01:10

immediately cowered in a corner.

02:01:16

scream painfully And I

02:01:19

say you can't scream they will

good [music]

02:02:07

Oh, it's possible and in me,

02:02:11

yes, the horse is

02:02:16

finally just a miracle

02:02:22

[ music]

02:02:32

Auschwitz memorial worker historian

02:02:35

Helena Kubitsa collected all the surviving

02:02:37

documents that could reveal the

02:02:39

secret of Hanna Mykhailivnyv's origin. There are so

02:02:42

few intact documents because the

02:02:45

Germans took everything with them when they fled

02:02:47

or simply

02:02:50

burned it. Historians believe that

02:02:52

only

02:02:54

10% of Ms. Helena has survived to this day. Ms. Anna's hope is

02:02:59

to learn something about herself, about her family,

02:03:03

where she is from, what

02:03:05

the historian managed to find out, and what

02:03:09

truth is waiting for Anna Mykhailivna, I

02:03:13

have no idea about my bloodline, soon in just a

02:03:16

few minutes

02:03:21

[music]

02:03:31

May 9 has never been a holiday for

02:03:34

Samin Soroka because his war was still

02:03:38

going on after the Soviet Victory, the young man

02:03:41

continued his struggle underground, and later

02:03:44

he was arrested,

02:03:50

he was released from the camps in

02:03:53

[musician]

02:03:56

61 and to this day he has remained

02:04:00

unarmed, as for me, the

02:04:03

star of the Hero of Ukraine is not enough on his coat, because

02:04:06

it does not matter which side he is on he was in the army,

02:04:09

everyone will tell you Semen Soroka, a

02:04:13

real Ukrainian, a

02:04:16

patriot, Freedom,

02:04:20

Ukraine, I don't

02:04:23

need a cow, I can eat bread alone and salt water,

02:04:28

Drink, but

02:04:34

Ukraine

02:04:35

[music] there's

02:04:40

nothing, I can't

02:04:44

be brought up by others like

02:04:47

this

02:04:50

[music]

02:04:58

Ivan Trofymovych didn't betray himself after

02:05:01

the war, he graduated he served in the flight school, and

02:05:04

later his son and grandson went through Afghanistan,

02:05:07

today in the east, however, the son of the regiment

02:05:09

does not

02:05:12

complain about life, of course, on the one hand, I was not

02:05:15

lucky, but on the other hand, I still

02:05:19

got out. I am glad to live and see how it all

02:05:26

happens, it is very expensive for me

02:05:29

Life - this is the same

02:05:32

[music],

02:05:39

the main thing, with a wolf ticket,

02:05:42

the ostarbeiter Maria

02:05:45

Saenko returned to the Motherland, we were

02:05:47

stared at for the

02:05:49

wrong word, even in the village, in the village, and then you

02:05:53

go to the district, he

02:05:55

asks for something and immediately says, and in Germany, how

02:05:59

was it for you? And Germany gave you something What

02:06:03

did you return to? Humiliating

02:06:06

interrogations in the KDB and baseless insults

02:06:09

persecuted the woman all her life.

02:06:11

There are no products. Lavrov is on the 9th of May.

02:06:16

Victory Day with girls. It is unknown.

02:06:39

the day, my husband, that’s a chicken,

02:06:43

there’s a herma with

02:06:46

[music]

02:06:47

don’t worry,

02:06:51

I now fall asleep sometimes and I feel that this is

02:06:56

not the case, it’s gone. As they say,

02:07:02

childhood is youth, not

02:07:06

old age, because now, too, everything

02:07:09

is good. I

02:07:13

see Eleonora Zakharivna Koval gave birth to

02:07:16

three

02:07:17

daughters, a microbiologist and received a degree

02:07:20

Professor, very recently a woman

02:07:23

even published a book dedicated to mold in

02:07:26

our lives. May 9 will always

02:07:29

remain May 9 for me because it was then

02:07:32

when I was involved in that war, I suffered from it

02:07:41

[music],

02:07:44

of course, among all the heroes of

02:07:47

this film, it was more difficult to find

02:07:49

Khrystyna higer Today she lives in

02:07:52

New York, but even there we didn't

02:07:54

manage to

02:07:59

meet [music] As a result, a day in the sky is a

02:08:02

flight across the Atlantic and we are on one of the

02:08:05

Caribbean islands

02:08:13

[music]

02:08:17

San Martin

02:08:20

every year Khrystyna and her husband

02:08:23

[musical]

02:09:04

Christmas. Hrystyna met her future husband

02:09:06

Maryan in

02:09:09

Krakow. He is also from a Jewish family

02:09:11

that survived the Holocaust, but already in the

02:09:14

Krakow

02:09:17

ghetto.

02:09:19

Today, they have a son and two grandchildren

02:09:21

who live next to them in

02:09:26

New York after the war I had a

02:09:28

wonderful life I went to school then I

02:09:33

studied in

02:09:34

medical college And when we went to Israel I

02:09:37

graduated from the university and got a

02:09:40

doctorate

02:09:41

[music] the

02:09:43

girl in the green sweater

02:09:46

held the whole interview but

02:09:48

my simple question is how often does she remembers

02:09:51

those

02:09:52

times unexpectedly upset her

02:09:56

balance I remember a lot

02:10:00

[music]

02:10:03

often I keep returning to that

02:10:08

[music]

02:10:17

time

02:10:18

[music] A

02:10:23

happy post-war childhood was waiting

02:10:26

for the former prison of Auschwitz, Ganya Stryshkova's

02:10:29

foster parents, Anisia and Mykhailo,

02:10:32

raised the girl as if they were

02:10:35

her own, and even when her daughter grew up, Mom was

02:10:38

never able to find the strength to

02:10:40

confess that she was not related to them

02:10:44

until

02:10:46

documentarians from Moscow came to Kyiv and she did not want

02:10:49

to make a confession during the shooting.

02:10:56

so that

02:11:00

it means that my mother

02:11:05

has opened up to me, so let’s go, don’t delay,

02:11:12

please, the motor, the camera, start scene 7,

02:11:18

recognize the frame,

02:11:23

take the first take,

02:11:26

please, start with me, that’s the feeling that my

02:11:29

mother

02:11:33

was afraid all her life that my parents would suddenly be found.

02:11:39

Anechka, I owed you for a long time, they

02:11:42

confess, they are louder

02:11:49

[music]

02:11:52

Chka, I owe you a confession for a long time,

02:11:58

we should have

02:12:01

confessed to you in

02:12:03

[music]

02:12:04

in May of the 5th year,

02:12:09

you are

02:12:11

not my own, I hope you

02:12:17

will forgive us, I see her starting to

02:12:20

shake, she is

02:12:21

nervous Anya What are you feeling now Are

02:12:24

you

02:12:26

02:12:31

you are the only one in my

02:12:35

family, this does not mean anything, please,

02:12:38

don't cry, mommy, please, don't cry, you are the

02:12:41

only one

02:12:43

[music] we

02:12:47

will film the people

02:12:51

[music]

02:12:53

this shot was shot,

02:13:01

the moment of truth when Anna Mykhailovna is about to

02:13:05

find out the truth about himself

02:13:07

Finally,

02:13:08

he came from the mayor by the number of the tattoo that

02:13:12

was on Hanna's arm. We managed to find out

02:13:15

that she arrived at Auschwitz 4ru

02:13:20

19 с Украины есть дети здесь, children from

02:13:25

Ukraine were not taken to Auschwitz. Did only

02:13:28

teenagers who escaped from slave labor

02:13:31

in Germany come here they were taken from two centers in

02:13:34

Belarus, Minsk and

02:13:36

Vitebsk, however, people could get to these cities

02:13:39

from

02:13:41

anywhere, showing the

02:13:44

preserved documents, Mrs. Helena proves that among the

02:13:46

children brought to the camp with

02:13:49

numbers close to Anna Mykhailivna's, there are also

02:13:51

Ukrainian surnames, for example, in the list of

02:13:54

women there is Kravchenko Valya There are

02:13:58

also Russian Belarusian surnames,

02:14:00

that is, our Hanna Mykhailivna can be

02:14:03

any of these nationalities Ms.

02:14:06

Helena. Is there any hope for Ms. Anna to

02:14:10

learn something about herself, because to this

02:14:13

day she still does not know what day she

02:14:16

was born, what year

02:14:18

she is from, who are her

02:14:25

parents. it's a pity today It's already

02:14:28

impossible Because we only have a number by

02:14:31

which we can determine when and where

02:14:33

she

02:14:34

was brought, but we don't have any information about

02:14:37

relatives

02:14:41

[music]

02:14:50

I don't have the concept of native blood

02:14:53

because my adoptive mother's blood is in my blood and

02:14:58

if I consider that Almost all the blood

02:15:01

was taken from me, and she filled it with her own

02:15:06

blood. How can I say that my blood is not

02:15:10

related to her?

02:15:13

You know the feeling of devastation,

02:15:18

when battles are fought without announcement, when the

02:15:21

homeland is divided without asking permission, and the

02:15:24

warmth in the soul is replaced by frost. Sometimes, here

02:15:28

I am now. I think that maybe if I

02:15:31

knew and saw the woman who

02:15:34

is my mother, I don't know how I would

02:15:38

handle myself. It's as

02:15:40

if the air access

02:15:43

has been cut off, and in a moment you'll be blown up by

02:15:46

enemy mines.

02:15:54

they say that any trip

02:15:57

can change a

02:15:58

person. This trip changed both of us, and

02:16:02

we returned home a different person.

02:16:05

Hello, Kyiv.

02:16:08

Hello. Anticipating a meeting with our

02:16:10

relatives, Hanna Mykhailivna and I

02:16:12

are hurrying home. Finally, this is a difficult

02:16:16

journey for both of us.

02:16:26

radnoe Ukraine is my home This is my

02:16:30

warm home that gave me a family that

02:16:34

gave me an education brought me up I

02:16:38

02:16:40

02:16:51

02:16:55

02:16:58

the distance and let me not be with you
