It was january, 1945. The soviet red army was advancing and 56,000 inmates already weak and emaciated were forced to walk nearly 50 miles to a Railway Station near the czech border. There they were to be transported to prisoner camps in germany. As a tribute to all those people who lost their lives, a small group decided to walk the same group as the notorious death march. We went along to meet them. In the beginning there were 14 in the group. Setting out to retrace walked by 40,000 emaciated and exhausted prisoners 69 years ago. They hoped to commemorate the many victims who died on the death march and experience some small fraction of their ordeal. Their march begins at the entrance to the former concentration and death camp, at the infamous gate, where the inscription work will set you free. I want the Younger Generation to understand what people did to others back then. I dont feel any hate towards the germans, but i want to experience what it means to walk this extreme distance.
