CHILDREN OF THE INTERNMENT CAMPS
SOVIET SPECIAL CAMP Nr. 9

A remark on the file card for the prisoner who is a prisoner in the Soviet Special Internment camp -- nothing else points to her existence there other than that. She has had to watch, herself starving, as her children collapse and perish from starvation. When the camps were finally closed down in 1950, there were many children in these camps who for the first time got to know what life was like outside of the barbed wire. Many of them ended up in orphanages, their parents having perished in the camps. Some of them were simply taken to orphanages by the security police, even if their parents were still alive. Those who had been schlepped off to the orphanages before the camps were closed down now were being searched for by the parents who survived. More often than not, with documentation on their fate withheld from their mothers, they were never found again. This film tells the story of these children, who paid the ultimate price for the sins or their parents; sometimes, it was a matter of interned Nazis; other times, simply people in the East who did not agree with the new government. 28 minutes; very good quality.

The accompanying film tells the story of Soviet Special Camp Nr. 9, one of many former Nazi camps turned into internment camps by the Soviets for the housing of political and war criminals. There, the guards did not usually rely on torture or execution to do away with the undesirables; mostly, starvation and disease accomplished what the now silent gas chambers and execution walls had done only a few short years before. 42 minutes; very good quality.

DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH NO SUBTITLES. APPROXIMATELY 70 MINUTES. REGION FREE (will play in any dvd player).
