"The Germans entered the house, bursting with automatic weapons across the floor" - from the memoirs of the children of the war
“The Germans entered the village. They just entered the house, did not talk to anyone - they burst into the floor with automatic weapons and went on. "
“I remember how the dogs howled. The Germans entered. They went into the house, recorded how many family members. If someone was not there, they were looking for them - they climbed into sheds, cellars, everywhere. "
“I remember how I huddled under my bed when I heard that the Germans were entering the city. It was very scary".
This is from the stories of children of the war - children who were left without childhood, for whom childhood is associated with bombing, hunger, the death of relatives and friends. Throughout their lives, they carry the pain that settled in their hearts at a very young age. But someone could not survive this pain.
Strange enough, but the topic of children of war in our country for many years somehow did not particularly rise to the political level. In books and movies, yes. But at official events, including with an eye to financial assistance - at best, unsystematic, one-time.
In the film by Arkady Mamontov, the theme of children of war is raised. The journalist prepared a film based on the memories of those who were children during the Great Patriotic War. Someone was hijacked to Germany, someone had to survive without relatives, someone survived the horrors of the Leningrad blockade and miraculously escaped, someone was forced to go far east to evacuate.
