The situation faced by millions of orphaned and homeless children. The graphic scenes of traumatized, hungry, and poorly clothed children recorded by the u. S. Signal court, helped raise millions of dollars for relief efforts. This Academy Awards winning film, includes scenes that may be disturbing to some viewers. Children. The human raw material of each shattered nations tomorrow. Each nations preview in flesh and blood of its future. Pillars of a brave new world. Pillars of a brave new world ages from 3 to 6 and not even able to stand. Rickets. Age nine, mother tortured, father burned alive. Age 10, lost her senses when shells swept her dutch village. Age eight, mother, father, sister and brother killed all around him in deliberate shell fire because they refused to leave the shelter of a ravine, himself wounded. Age eight, she didnt know her strange new toy was a grenade. Ages 10 to 14. Age 3, stunted and warped by nutritional deficiencies. Pillars of a brave new world separated from parents whose names they dont even remember. Roaming like wolf packs, stealing, begging, education neglected, all normal influence gone. Living in filth. And millions more like them from which will emerge new leaders, new leaders who also will bear the burden of keeping the peace together. For here, too, as well as in more fortunate nations, are makers of tomorrow. Will they be new einsteins, madam currys or new hitlers, mussolinis . A legacy designed to drag down neighbor nations and their future into one common ruin, jeopardizing the next generation for the next round. For germany in particular that had long practice at ripping the entire fabric of a nations life, so that a state of enduring weakness could be ensured, liberation or not. The liberated lead. A checkzech village was completely wiped off the earth that not even rubble remained. Where all the women were sent to concentration camps of which these are among the surviving few. For all the men and boys of the village were shot and buried in one common grave. And all the little children sold for 50 marks apiece to various german families and perhaps lost forever. The effects of which will linger long after men like these captured ss men who have been tried and condemned. And their bigshot counterparts who created even a greater degree, a design for destruction of a design that wielded all of civilization, a design detailed by hitler himself in the last days of the third richt as he stated in essence we shall leave an inheritance of ruins, stone heaps, rats, hunger and death and thereby western civilization shall decline. Rebirth in ruins. Twisting whole countries into economic ripples, weakness that will last for decades. Rebirth through stone heaps. Producing human living to animal level. Rebirth through rats, epidemics. Nothing reduces population like plague, plague. Rebirth through hunger. A starved nation cannot be a sturdy one, and malnutrition leaves a lingering mark. Rebirth through death. Reducing and withering the mass population of all countries within reach so that the germans and japanese would remain the strongest physically and mentally, come what may. And thereby civilization shall decline. Nor was this final strategy of rebirth through common ruin Something Special born of adolf hitler only. The german general staff, like the jap general staff were old hands at it. These were the words of general von ruinsted talking through the Berlin Academy at the outset. We germans must number twice the population of our neighbors. Therefore we shall be compelled to destroy onethird of the population of all adjacent territories. We can best achieve this through systematic malnutrition in the end far superior to machine guns. Starvation works more effectively especially among the young. Starvation works more effectively, especially among the young. Unquestionably, of all the victims in the program of whole populations, the most pitiful have been the most precious. The young. Even after liberation to the access legacy of fear, hunger and hate, to be nourished in an atmosphere of desperation, for destiny of despair calculated to supply the new tools, the new hitlers, tojos and mussolinis of an even bloodier tomorrow. With the lessons of two wars to learn from, its company to the road of revival being fooled by neglecting this. Or this, the access legacy in action as the true cost in terms of tomorrow begins to show itself. Dissension, despair, doubt, fetalism, fertile soil for the world war iii, and this the last battle. If we permit this to be the face of the future, then truly there will be only one place in which to rest the full burden of blame on ourselves. Ourselves, including those of us strolling in the shaded streets of nations of trees that have not been stripped into shrapnel. Those homes that have suffered neither burn nor blast, a lush land bearing no scar or scorched earth. In the shop that represents not death but merely temporary discomfort. Walking by schools and grounds where the only screams heard were and are of those of children at play. And whose steeple stretched toward god on a bombers wing. In this atmosphere, no matter how vivid, can include all that has been endured. But in those homes where the fateful tellegrams were delivered, and blue skies gave way to gold, comes the realization that no bar gives way to strategy. Those who dont understand history are doomed to repeat it. To many men and nations has come the conviction that the world simply cannot survive another war. Thus, even as they meet in the hope of ending war forever, the United Nations looked to the First Organization created in their name unrra, United Nations relief and rehabilitation administration. Unrra, much criticized and much crazed, through the veins and arteries of striken peoples around the earth, the emergency items of relief and rehabilitation that serve as the plasma of peace. Items from Six Continents and seven seas. An outpouring from each nations heart to each warstricken friend and neighbor. Hundreds of private relief and welfare organizations blend their efforts through unrra along with contributions of the government themselves. As all of the ravaged areas, the tired heart of liberated nations fight to regain strength and vigor, and a strong heart of the United Nations working hand in hand to help, a welfare specialist from australia, a doctor from cuba and a nurse from belgium. A child expert from england. A therapist from ohio, from canada, norway, south africa, china, operating despite the handicaps of varied languages and learning constructive new lessons in international teamwork, for very wisely it has been said the nations will learn to Work Together only by actually working together. And by providing artificial limbs for the crippled and disabled, and choosing occupations that will enable them to stand on their own feet again, even though the feet themselves be artificial. And with donated shoes, learning to be shoemakers so they may later serve their own villages. And so the pulse of rehabilitation begins to beat again in the areas warped and withered by war. It is supposed to beat feebly at first, this pulse of restoration, while little men labor and strive with whatever is at hand that can be brought to hand. And the mounds of supplies seen on the docks and in the warehouses melt down to inadequate, minute portions, carefully measured out so that all may share and survive and work work. And homes are remade wherever a roof is to be found that will provide shelter. Part of a glider wing helps repair one house, discarded gun covers keep the elements out of another. So also on the farm is restoration sought, despite the toll exacted daily by wars lethal leftovers. For the food supply itself is a matter of life and death. And wherever and whenever fuel can be obtained, the smoke rises once more from family stoves and firesides. The return to normalcy takes on many forms, even though it be a nightmare kind of normalcy. Unrra is able to report progress, but small in comparison to needs. For each nail driven, 100,000 more are needed. For each blanket given, a thousand more must be given. And the same with plows and feed and trucks and medicine and livestock and vitamins and food to turn rickety bodies into rugged bodies and turn prosperous populations once more into proud and prolific peoples. And all the other hundreds of items, straining and exhausting, straining and exhausting on an initial low budget of 2 million, made up of 1 of each contributing nations annual income, 2 billion, less than the cost of five days of war, five days of war. Without shattered bodies or pain or lost arms, legs, minds. Five days without a single soldier having to give his life. The cutrate price of peace. A peace purchased at a much higher price by men in whose hearts are the words of thomas payne. If there be trouble, let it be in my time that my child may have peace. Peace, too, for those children already maimed in one war who must never experience or symbolize another. What seeds of destiny will sprout from within these ravaged ranks of lands with a specter of family stocks . New if you arefurors and lovers of liberty. The answer . It will hang for years for there is still a long ways to go in this last battle. A long way. While men of good will everywhere face a challenge to shape the world in which each nations upcoming generation can walk with hope and confidence the paths of peace and strive to meet the responsibilities and preserve the victories won by fighting men of the United Nations the hard way and establish once and for all, that Even Stronger than the atomic bomb is the human heart.
