Trust me, Russians are not heroes. Read about what happened when after IIWW, about Soviet Union, Polish People's Republic and so on. Russians were as bad as Nazis. You must believe me- my grandmother told me all things that Russians done and this is terrible. So before you will glorify someone read about them. Your words cant hurt lot of people that Russians hurt in the past.

She just saw her son got shot by this U.S soldier. In the eyes of the mother, the U.S soldier is evil. So yes, people have their opinion. The course of history will definitely be different if it wasnt for the Russians to weaken the Nazis

Really, you really want to make the case that Nazi Germany was worse then the Soviet Union ? Have you ever heard of the kulaks ? The Soviet Union seized the land from ukrainian farmers they deemed opressive and killed thousands of them. You know what happened because of that ? 6 million ukrainians died of starvation, things got so bad they started eating themselfs and the goverment had to remind it's citizens that it was wrong to eat their children. During soviet regime they estimate something around 20~80 million deaths happened.

Please, why are you talking about Ukrain only? My grandmother lived in Saratov area (Volga) - have you ever heard about starving in Volga region? They are talking about ukranians only, but this happened in several regions of the country. My grandmother was a child this time and she remembered everyting. 20-80 millions victims? Please, dont be the victim of propaganda yourself. As a Russian i think Stalin repressions were bad, but I can understand why they happend as it was a big price but the result was huge. Soviet Union became the leading country in the world for such a short period of time. Nazis - they are beasts - pure killers. I think there is no sense to explain you what I feel when I even read this word. I would sacrifice myself as did many people from my country to stop them. This camparison between communism and nazis is a dangerous trend, which means for me that nazi can come to power again. I think that mainly not Russians can have such oppinion that you have.

My great grandmother survived the Holocaust. She was one of the strongest, loveliest people I’ve ever met. No matter what happened in her life she didn’t let it dull her light and still loved with all of her heart. She came here to the United States with nothing but the clothes on her back, and when she passed in 2016 she left a HUGE family behind who loved her so much. She left a legacy. We miss you, Omi, Rose Meyer ❤️

I'm sure that nothing that you go through in life will ever put you down because the memory of your great grandma will always inspire to strive on.

This guys came to my school and this is an experience he had..it's so sad.. He was waiting in line to go to the camp. He found his brother his aunt his family ect... His aunt has a baby and didn't want her baby to get taken away from her so him and his brother had an idea. There idea was that she can pretend she's breast feeding because they thought they would never take a breast feeding mother away from her baby and stuff. Well when it was her turn they snatched the baby away from her and she cried and screamed and tried running after it. One nazi got the baby and took it and the other was holding the aunt back. She finally got through and took her baby back but the nazi took it back and the other nazi came from behind her and hit her with a gun..she was on the floor and her last words were "let my baby go" in a slight whisper ish kinda voice. She died then and there and the man speaking said he was glad she died so that she wouldn't have seen what they were gonna do to the baby. The nazi threw the baby up in the air..caught it's leg and slammed it against a rock. Sad. Him and his brother watched it all.

In Russia we always had meetings with WWII veterans throughout middle and high school every year right before May 9. Those grey-haired very kind and intelligent men and women were telling us about their fears, bravery, and tragedy that they went through fighting against Hitler. There was no such meeting during which I didn't weep and cry my face out. Watching this, I remembered those days and I'm so heartbroken that we are the last generation to hear these heroes: survivors and soldiers.

My father, a veteran of North Africa, Sicily, and Italy, would respectfully disagree. He arrived in Algeria in November 1942. And the British in North Africa would disagree also. How about the Battle of Britain in 1940? Yes, I know the Soviet Union wasn't in the war until July 1941. Unless you count how Stalin invaded Poland along with Hitler. Yes, the Soviet people suffered greatly and absorbed the vast majority of deaths in WW2, but don't say they did it alone.

It is very inspirational to hear their stories of survival and strength in the most horrible of times on this Earth. I really hope and pray that future generations do not forget what can happen when radical beliefs and values take hold of a nation.

What these people went through is the definition of unimaginable and it still happens today in some parts of the world. I’m by no means rich, I come from an average working class family but listening to this I feel guilt to have such a privileged life

I can't even imagine the horror that these people went through.

Some of my ancestors joined the British army and the American one. From what I can remember 4 of my family joined these two armies, 2 in each and none of them survived the war.

History is written by the Victor's. War crimes were committed from the nazis to the soviets to the Americans and British. But the good guys were forgiven. Only problem is after the war the soviets became the enemy, so they had to be vilified. So unfortunately the soviet people get the least recognition despite having the largest contribution. Tis is life.
