Alice Muggerditchian Shipley was 11 years old when in autumn of 1914 Turkey entered the war alongside Germany against the Allied Powers, and the atrocities against Armenians began. The Ottoman government took advantage of the war years to realize its premeditated and systematically implemented annihilation of the Armenian population. In this short clip, Alice describes the horrors of the first few months before her family was forced to take the route of deportation out of Harpout (Kharbert).

Tracing this tragic trajectory is the 15-minute documentary “Auschwitz.”

Úryvek ze svědectví Marie Hořákové popisuje situaci v této nemocnici pohledem jedné ze zdravotních sester, ženy, kterou chránilo manželství s takzvaně „árijským“ mužem. Perzekuce těchto mužů, odmítajících rozvod s manželkami, jež byly rasistickými zákony označeny za židovky, je specificky protektorátní kapitolou historie holocaustu. Pouze u nás byli za odmítání rozvodu vězněni, internováni a deportováni do koncentračních táborů.
