BBC World Service - Witness History, German atrocities in Poland during WW2

The memories of a survivor of Nazi atrocities in the final months of the war in Europe

The memories of a Polish survivor of Nazi atrocities in the final months of the war in Europe.

Towards the end of World War Two in Europe, Polish civilians suffered terribly at the hands of retreating German troops. But many never received any reparations for what they’d been through.  Kevin Connolly has been speaking to one survivor who was a child in those final brutal days of the war in Europe.
