Think we dont. Believe it or sometimes i would like to give the floor then thats who the president of the republic of potent undried the time. Bunchy different reasons. All the residents are feeling who remember. The tragic morning. On the 1st september 1959. So im hoping that by your president ial debate with your accent and since federal president tim rice. Speaker of the senate i still mean these throw via ministers. She got an excellent. Chance at the school your excellence hes a ships of all denominations she goes. So not all noble members of parliament and senators the study will you go she just english guests. So i know youve said studies show that whats the point in the world reprise sensitive so it all for us all regional fortys the vocal John Marshall oh sort of presented itself to count a little bit starters. And they had sort of smoko and regional councils. Diamandis kinds. Of you got the president s of all different counties president s of different lines its. The star you should be gushed all to cast. Started yes it is an old town up if not they will use the us an attack on the dotted lee it was over to town on this we know from historical sources you were taken in 121286 maybe the problem is. Your town rights was given in 1281 obvious to us soil has its own long long history already and in that history all this town. Has. To a tragic macabre moments so he said 163011. 00 of the stone was started to send. I dont know about the building so well last 22 to start that they were all made of tin but it was a fire. And the fire engulfed it so i mean us that practically the entire top with the so the exceptional thing and it also was damaged but the consul survived just as a stalled would have on the town was rebuilt. By people. With age the scots people all know so that russia is one of those will to survive all the girls who live the will to return to and then 300 years later just in 1939 just the ocean resize lake 308 yes lyta. Thats a lot of page that edition at 440. 00. When no one expected that response i was sure this is when ryan said im going to argue. Yes the destruction of the town began that that was so tragic to that so i think that the prevention in the fact that all it precipitated it was the fact that 90 percent of the old town was gone and 75 percent of the town. Was in rubble. 1200 people. Rank and file civilians. Were killed that most of us murder that. They did not expect that and in fact something. They could not possibly see so should you take it out in the neighbors from the west and alter what about the flight a lot of all of a sudden that he was saying the most mordant i mean some of the time using diving bonus. You. Know she just cant shut them the 7 beat to death at all its over go to all that do it. Yourself of the lived off of for more than a year as a time bomb and they did not expect that the ball must get you killed some time again not all of a sudden without your name on the town that didnt have any military not just of the town or they didnt have any military installations in the town that just provide those out and anyway it was not ready for any defense what subs. Any defense and no one sort that they want bombing the hospital mocked with a rock actually cross is just in compliance with the convention and the principles. Saying it hospital as many as 32 people died 26 patients started yelling for nurses and 2 nuns. I dont know. Who could possibly expect that this 2nd world war. Would such a drastic activities are committed by a civilized nation after all i start of. One of the oldest nations in europe is not of the fact viewed by the nation with such grand history. Such contribution to the european culture the nation. Has so had so many faithful of the treasure who could possibly expect that. Horrible it all. Time was on the bleached it would begin with such doc the act they barbaric act. Given dont think of is the act that it is sent in its citizens is not a war act its an. Attack a terror attack on regular people. And it was a special day for fear and it was a friday and in the long history of a lot of fright it was the fed that day see how here on the made markets square we would see many people stop it and probably the finest from the villages have come on friday through town to sell their produce sent people sensed that the war was so coming that was mobilization that was the feeling here from the rest but no one could see that they defenseless town would be attacked in that way by dropping a false on the sleeping people whod you see account of being opposed come here to the convent wear them because that outrage and it was an element of the book and life jacket that was on it wasnt just a typical polish town of the time lots a couple catholics lived. About that isnt supposed juiciest value that they have lived here and to have a. Because look its a mixture of cultures is a mixture of customs and it was. Vibrantly those cultures were intertwined with each other it was just a classical town of the 2nd republic and it was gone. Is that about the disappeared it probably. Eventually calmed down a moment that was the time i watched you something that particular time that was the moment. On the. In the morning the 1st of september 1039 so and the beginning of the end of the 2nd poetry public got rid of all. Our cultural and ethnic cool. So ships goal neighborly. Mix and a long history of all the stuff. That was present here and i mean. Theres never been like that late to rome and poland of the type has never repeated on the map as i was going here ive been thinking how many mothers at that time was welcomed in the morning to. Crack quests and clothing for their children how many children little song they. Just going to think about beginning. And to probably they were restless and could sleep because of going to school but not a minute it was just normal willetts minus you know just was sort of regular well that was destroyed said it was not saddam. Against principle something in the violation of any principles are also principles rushnell and convention think a convention was filed late its. Actually. War crime well go to let it sit down with those that will cry about the story and say the person you know need to take that action because theyre going to show what took type of told me that just because i was a total of all of them with no principles war of destruction and in fact is that unfortunately this is. Not saying come and so flipped off with training soldiers does say that it did. As you all flying it over the time you saw the enemy there are no people that you thought of those beans and no hewletts theyre not only full of notches oh yes if people are only i was soldiers that are advancing on the enemy not guys he started this is the historic trip through juan theyve got to show you that i find it difficult to imagine today that. Unfortunately says i still have got them but well i have to surmise that carter told to the clinically of the lesson of agin us and hes not so with that man to the last so its all of tens of millions of lives all over the well to do young. Tens of millions civilians. Die people defenseless people who are not fighting and i saw. That it was the largest in the history of the human kind so potent potent us that i totally destroyed or got lost 6000000. 00 citizens and within that i 3 citizens of jewish origins are. In death camps in so many places thoughts was little governor of the 2nd world war. Both also washed that devastated the world to me but yet we shall never forget about it because we are not allowed to not allow it to forget about it from day even when the eye witnesses will possibly a on at their kazakhstan not got it back even not when its going to be only for eternity in the history books so awkward movies some pictures we cannot put cats around today because of what happened to family and later on happened to many so many talents and paid into them to all over the world so that it is never repeated a
