How the history is falsified in Moldova

On June 13, Moldova marks a special date: On this day in 1941, more than 30 thousand people were deported from Bessarabia to Siberia.

These tragic events must not be forgotten, and the memory of the victims of the Stalinist regime must be passed on from generation to generation, so that this will never happen again.

In this connection, a photo exhibition dedicated to this terrible period of repression was placed in the center of Chisinau.

 

 

It was a surprise to find, among the photos presented by the organizers as a photographic fact of the deportations of Moldovans, the photos showing the martyrs of German concentration camps of different years.

Photo caption: Genocide. Documents show that 166 Moldovan children were deported in 1949 without their parents to a Siberian detention center.

Photo caption: Jewish children who had been separated from their parents after the suppression of the Warsaw ghetto uprising were deported in cattle cars to Auschwitz, Treblinka or Sobibor.

At Auschwitz near Krakow, Poland, the concentration camp was built by the SS in 1940, which in 1941 turned into an extermination camp, especially for Jews. The chimneys of the crematorium are visible in the background of the photo. The bodies of the murdered prisoners were burned there. At least 1.1 million people died in Auschwitz.

We say all the time that history is falsified only in non-democratic regimes, that propaganda is inherent only in countries where there are problems with freedom of speech, where human rights are limited. But we see that all this is happening in our “democratic” Moldova …

What are the reasons “the history is distorted” in Moldova, and thereby insulting the memory of the millions of Jews, Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, and other European peoples who were rotted in the death camps?
