00:00You have a contradiction between what people thought and what actually happened.

00:19People have this myth stuck in their heads that the Jews went to their deaths like sheep

00:25to the slaughter.

00:28This is where the real story begins.

00:37I can't say that the Jews were silent, that's absolute nonsense.

00:41The Jews were armed, they were ready to resist.

00:45We were happy because we were free and we were fighting back.

00:48It's hard to excavate, but we are sure there are weapons still in these places.

00:54It took so much courage, unbelievable courage.

00:58The prisoners were able to collect a number of knives and very primitive grenades.
