"The Second World War claimed the lives of millions of people and left many children orphaned. One of the worst-affected countries was Poland, where entire families were wiped out. This documentary highlights the desperate fate of these children orphaned by war.

Children, traumatized by the consequences of the war and the loss of their loved ones, became pawns during and after the conflict.

The film reconstructs the odyssey of Polish orphans who found themselves in a refugee camp in Tanzania after the end of World War Two. First the children were deported from their homeland to labor camps in the Soviet Union. They were later sent to British colonies in East Africa, including Tanzania. The children were fascinated by Africa's nature, the animals and the lush vegetation.

The documentary charts the journeys of these children from their deportation to Siberia to their eventual resettlement in Canada. Looking back, the story seems like an incredible adventure, even for the orphans' descendants. Nevertheless, the grief over the loss of their homeland and family remains."—

#Russia was addressing #China: we fought the #Second_World_War, we won the #Second_World_War, we won the #Nazis, and I was like, okay, that is something new.

But then you can see, if you know history, then it raises a lot of question marks in your head.

But, you know, I can tell you, nowadays, people don't really read and remember history that much, which is that, you know, you can see that they buy these narratives.

In #Russian #Yekaterinburg, a 75-year-old pensioner was convicted for calling #Stalin a dictator and a murderer.

The court found #Nikolay_Dolgushin guilty of "rehabilitation of #Nazism" over his comments on the #Odnoklassniki social network: "The #Second_World_War was started by the dictator and murderer #Stalin," and "It was the murderer and dictator #Stalin who declared war on peaceful #Poland."

#German Chancellor #Friedrich_Merz:

"...#Russia has broken all the rules that we have established for our coexistence in #Europe since the end of the #Second_World_War, and above all, since overcoming the division of #Europe

The #Russian war of aggression has been raging in #Ukraine for more than three years now. #Russian troops are killing and murdering women and children, civilians, and soldiers daily.

It’s right to remember the dead of 1939-45. But keep the anger about current wars too (The Guardian)

Around the globe, conflict is spreading – but it’s too often going ignored. Are we simply overwhelmed by the scale of it?

Videos have appeared (I can not verify their accuracy) of military training supposedly starting with the use of special armoured vehicles. The video shows a #T_34, an #IS_3 tank, and an #ISU_152. All machines are from the #Second_World_War.

Earlier, #North_Korean troops were spotted at that training ground.
