Will the Night Fall?

A brilliant documentary has recently been released: "The Night Will Fall", directed by André Singer on the base of unfinished documentary project of Sidney Bernstein.

75 minutes that, in my sincere opinion, should be obligatory for all people on Earth.

People should be aware that hell happens on Earth from time to time, and mankind has to pay a high price each time to destroy it. Lectures of the past should never be forgotten, if we do not want the history to repeat its classes.

I have found also versions: Dutch, German, Italian, and Polish.

Why now? The Guardian says,

And the Fascists Remained

Children and grandchildren of executioners want to make the children and grandchildren of their victims repent of their crimes. This is the very reason of the fight with today's Russia. To make people that came many times through the hell repent to Satan of being able to survive and save themselves.

Hypothetical exclamations — "Oh, were our army not win, you maybe wouldn't be alive" — do not make any effect on those who use Auschwitz today as a political small coin. For they know perfectly well whose army won. Personally for them the danger has passed by. They have dozens airbags.

Exactly so they understand that there is no GULAG. No SMERSH, no NKVD. Do you really think these people consider Putin to be kind of light-style-Stalin indeed? Leave it, this stuff is for hamsters.

They are fascists, yet this definition is to be redefined today. They don't keep "Mein Kampf" under their pillows. This is not the fascism of Mussolini. This is not the national socialism of Hitler, but a new type ideology based on the old leaven.

These misters can calmly cry "Stop the fascist" chasing after stupid youth subcultures, which they feed up themselves. Young boneheads make tattoos of the swastika, rise their right hands in Nazi salutation and celebrate the "granddad's" birthdays. A rag-doll. A scarecrow.

No. The modern fascists are clean and cultured... And now they are quite international. And use little nationalist yells to their benefit. They do not persecute gays, but foster them. Many things have changed.

Yet the theory of superiority is still the same. They like talking about benignant genes and inferior peoples. About evolution and biology. The Russians are inferior, on this account our liberals have talked enough for a separate tribunal.

History of WW2, Ed. 2, Revised & Rewritten

In fact, it is not published yet, however, there are chances we will see it pretty soon.

Today the Polish Minister of Foregn Affairs Grzegorz Schetyna gave an interview to a Polish radio.

... Prezydent Rosji jest spadkobiercą tak na dobrą sprawę kraju, który nazywał się Związek Radziecki, a to Armia Czerwona, było nie było, otworzyła bramy do Auschwitz.
G.S.: A może lepiej powiedzieć, panie redaktorze, że to front ukraiński, pierwszy front ukraiński i Ukraińcy wyzwalali, bo tam żołnierze ukraińscy byli wtedy w ten dzień styczniowy i oni otwierali bramy obozu i oni wyzwalali obóz. Tak jak powiedziałem...

In fact, the President of Russia is an heir to the country that was called the Soviet Union, and finally it was the Red Army that opened the gate of Auschwitz.
G.S.: Maybe, Mr. editor, it would be better to tell that it was a Ukrainian front, the 3rd Ukrainian front and the Ukrainians who liberated, there were Ukrainian soldiers then, at that January day, they opened the camp's gate, and they liberated the camp. So I say...

The 3rd Ukrainian Front banner.

So you say, Mr. Minister, a totally ignorant bullshit. Though you are definitely to be forgiven, you are just a good pupil of some good lecturers.

Let us remember that the story of the "Ukrainian army liberating Europe" did not start today. On September 18, 2014 the US ambassador to Serbia Michael Kirby told to a local newspaper:

It is not yet confirmed that Putin will come, but if he does – why is he coming? To attend the celebration of the liberation of Belgrade? Belgrade was liberated also by the Third Ukrainian Army, as a part of the Red Army.
If Putin is invited, are all others who participated in the liberation [of Belgrade] also invited?

Well, for a political figure it is forgiveable to mix armies and fronts. In fact, in the Red Army during the WW2 a front was the largest military formation, roughly equal to a group of armies. And it was the 3rd Ukrainian Front under Marshal Tolbukhin, which liberated Belgrade.The Front in fact existed since October, 1942, albeit till October 1943 it was called the Southwestern Front.

The 1st Ukrainian Front banner.

However, the concentration camp Auschwitz was in reality liberated by the 1st Ukrainian Front (cheers, Mr. Schetyna!) under Marshal Konev. By the way, before October, 1943 it was called Voronezhsky Front, and surely included not only dwellers of Voronezh, just like it consisted not only of Bryansk people when it was called the Bryansky Front before that.
