Tune in to Voice of Greece this Friday at 13.00 to listen to the 1st episode of the 14-part radio documentary series ”Silent tracks: The people behind the Holocaust”, based Thomas Sideris’ book by the same title. [with Greek Audio]
The first radio documentary in the series, entitled “The Invasion of Poland, Autumn 1939”, is broadcast on Friday September 1, precisely 84 years after the Nazi invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939.
Through interviews, oral and written testimonies and texts, diaries and other documents, the horror of Nazi crimes unfolds as early as the 1930s with the organized plan of displacement and, later, extermination of those populations. People who found themselves in hell and remained alive, who found themselves one step before the gas chamber door in the death camps of Eastern Europe and were released after the end of the war, unfold their memories and send a resounding message about the horrific crimes of Nazism.
All the radio documentaries of the cycle will be broadcast every Friday, from 13:00 to 14:00, and will then be available as podcasts from ERTECHO and Voice of Greece website.
