Travel to Auschwitz 24 criminal acts were a year ago at the beginning of a process of that has already entered as Auschwitz trial in German history. 24 German men have to answer for a year before a Frankfurt Assize Court for their activities in the largest previously known people destruction facility.
/ PLE of the most comprehensive criminal trying to manage a piece of German past, revolves around the concentration camps Auschwitz and Birkenau. The UFA Wochenschau POPs back to the moment of liberation in 1945 by the Red Army.
The survivors - a couple of thousand of about 4 million.
The small crematorium - three ovens.
The gas chambers - capacity up to 1000 people at a time.
The tools of the guards - and blaming the victim.
The Gasified - hair and their clothes.
Overall, 4 million people were killed at Auschwitz and Birkenau. Day high performance end of 1944: 8 to 10 thousand people daily. Auschwitz was one of 22 German concentration camps.
20 years later - in these days a delegation from the Frankfurt Auschwitz process visited the decaying extermination camp in Poland. Silent minute before the "black wall: 20 thousand people shot."
A German judge, prosecutors, defenders and a defendant hold local time in Auschwitz, to measure the horror - still under the burden of a past that at least morally not barred.

Adenauer looks back up for more than a year content he with a being a member of the Bundestag and remains one of the central figures in German politics: former German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. We asked the eight to take a critical look at the year of 1964 for the UFA Wochenschau. Original sound Konrad Adenauer: "can I say now past or declining year - what about? In any case, you need to expect it not to the poor that succeeded to get it over difficult situations throughout the world, without that it has come to open conflict. And if you ask me now: what was probably the most important event of this year? "- so I would like to tell one to you: the fall of Khrushchev's - it was not intended as his successor will pursue the same policy, which has so far been traced by Soviet Russia."
And the most important event? Original sound Konrad Adenauer: "that was the decision that happened in Brussels. And in this decision - Chancellor Erhard participated at the conclusion of this decision, to a considerable extent. I am Which one form is initially accept Europe convinced that this the way is open for a continued development of Europe - indifferent. We need this development and we need that Europe is together."

Guest this time is devoted to a cautious year-end optimism In the Studio of the Studio mirror the UFA Wochenschau. In the German workshops it has searched this year without success for means, the new surprises zn prepare viewers. Film visit is one of the most admired amusement in Germany more than previously.
Prominent Filmgängerin of this week was Karin Baal, who attended the premiere of a great American gold rush-comedy in Hamburg together with the world-weary opera star Anneliese Rothenberger. The charming Hamburg singer enjoyed the privilege to take part in a Goldschürf competition safe in our.
The gold, which painstakingly had to be screened in Hamburg from the sand of the river Elbe, accumulates for a long time in all production and theater Fund, which have associated wellbeing with the name Karl May. In Munich, the hard harried world premiere of the latest Karl may adventures found Instead of now. In the Centre of the fan passions: Stewart Granger.
One dramatic fabric of filmed world war on the French Channel coast with Jean-Paul Belmondo in the title role. "Weekend in Zuydcoote" is the story of the battle of Dunkirk in June 1940.
The description of the struggle Merle was the of it penned by Robert, ' received Prix Goncourt. With exceptional precision, book and film tell the dramatic battle, in which the fate of France was provisionally decided.

Skat before the altar there are poorly dressed figures that dissolve from the shadow of their houses to join the long and rare hike in the Valley - mountain farmers from Vercors, a landscape of the French Prealps, which belongs to the country's State of emergency areas. Once in the year they leave civilization far solitude of the mountains together, to commemorate in their Valley Church of the birth of Jesus.
Even during daylight hours, long before the prayer begins according to the schedule of the regulated party, the farmers families take possession of their House of God. You have not come to sacrificing only those tight hour of the birth of the Lord, in the big cities can be supply with mood. You spend the night - such as at that time the shepherds in the stable of Bethlehem.
Please wait. And gradually the peasant's life unfolds, as they are used to carry it in the mountains. It's 7: 00. Evening Vespers with bread and wine - accompanied by old melodies that have come into the cities out of fashion.
The fullness of life and vitality, which more and more to take possession of the Church space, remember how many hours of devotion in the great churches of the cities under this sign are sleepy. The farmers of Vercors are at home in this church, and only sensitive natures may discover something profane in their behavior, as in the games of children and those of adults.
The hour of the fair is fast approaching. The last private obligations are fulfilled. The churchgoers remain expectant, almost tender devotion.
The bells announce the birth. The Vercours peasant families have again the humble, attitude found worthy worship. Away from cathedrals and choirs Festival of the little, humble and simple is celebrated, – here as a festival that is closer to Bethlehem.
