Mira Shelub - Remembering the partisans
Transcript: And that's why now, after the war you know, when the survivors, they did not, from the concentration camps, they did not even want to tell the stories to their children because they did not want to involve them in all the atrocities, in all the, the bad times what they were going through. Now we start with a different story. We, we wanted them to know. We wanted to tell them the stories but it's not that we were better. We weren't better than they were. We were exactly the same but it happened that from our areas, they did not send us to concentration camps. There were not concentration camps. They finished us up right there on the spot. So we wanted to get out of it. We wanted to get away from that and this is the reason why were resisting. And, I remember in the forest in the Partisans, we believed that we'll survive. It will be this, we'll survive. And we did survive. And a lot of free Partisans survived but what happened after the liberation? The Russians, they sent Partisans to the front and they were not right for it. They were never trained, and they, they died on the front, Partisans.
