fuck ’em, fuck ’em both, extremism is bad, fascism massacred us, communism also massacred us, leaving me with a scarred for life polish family, and to tell how terrible the situation was, my family’s village(Kościelec) was among the least hit by both these monsters.
they still speak about how they used to grab whatever they found in the house and hide in the forest, sometimes for weeks to avoid getting killed/raped by nazis, it was then constantly under food insecurity during communism, my mom to this day still instinctivly prepares at least 15 pots of pasteurized foods for the winter, i keep telling her that we live in fucking north africa but she doesnt care, she says they used to do like that when she was young and feels anxious if she knows there are no conserved foods for winter, and like i said, my family’s village Kościelec was one of the least hit places of poland.
and i could go on and on about all the horrible things that happened during this period like an army officer having to flee because soviets were rounding up all the intelectuals in poland to mass kill them or my great great uncle who managed to jump off a train with other prisoners that was heading for auschwitz.
​
im happy to see that the healing process in poland is taking effects and less and less people have to live with this generational traumatism. fuck extremism and anyone who dares to support or defend it.
Auschwitz had a hospital/infirmary for prisoners?
But unfortunately Comrade, in life you are only rememberd for your last (UA) fuck up!
I wish we had someone to release the Palestinians from the concentration camps the Israelis have locked them in for several decades
Unfortunately, due to the political events of recent years, many people have gone completely crazy. The photograph shows ordinary soldiers who risked their lives in the fight against fascism. have respect for them, they saved the lives of the people of Eastern Europe. I am sure that after the liberation of their lands, they would like to stay in their homeland. if not for the ally, no nation in Europe could have saved itself from the Germans
Get genocided by Germans, take it out on Palestinians. Crazy world.
I read it as schlong block 😭😭😭
People here in the comments don’t seem to understand that most Soviet soldiers were conscripts, whether the ones in the picture believed in Communism or not doesn’t give us the right to judge them because “Communism killed millions”. Their actions in this picture are morally right, and we should be judging them based on their actions. People =/= Ideology.
The commander who liberated Auschwitz was Jewish officer named Anatoly Shapiro. Another Jewish Soviet officer under his command, Georgii Elisavetskii, recalled:
“When I entered the barrack, I saw living skeletons lying on three-tiered bunks. As in fog, I hear my soldiers saying: ‘You are free, comrades!’ I sense that they do not understand and begin speaking in Russian, Polish, German, Ukranian dialects; unbuttoning my leather jacket, I show them my medals. … Then I use Yiddish. Their reaction is unpredictable. They think that I am provoking them.They begin to hide. And only when I said to them: ‘Do not be afraid, I am a colonel of the Soviet Army and a Jew. We have come to liberate you.’ Finally, as if the barrier collapsed, they rushed towards us shouting, fell on their knees, kissed the flaps of our overcoats, and threw their arms around legs. And we did not move, stood motionless while unexpected tears ran down our cheeks.”
