Magdalena's introduction

Can you imagine how cold it is in Syberia? It is one of the coldest places in the world. It is really hard to survive there in a normal condition in a warm house with a fireplace. It is hard to imagine how people were working there , outside during WW2. The concentraton camps which were functioning during WW2 were set up by the Russians and Germans. The Russian ones are unknown for many reasons. First of all there are not so many books about this and most people are confused about the camps. People don't get into Russian history because it is a very poor country and is not able to pay off to the victims families. People tend to think that WW2 was about Jewish suffering and the don't pay attention to other things in history. the truth is that The Jewish people were the first in line in German camps but right after that were the Slavic, Gyspies ans so on. The same thing was with the Russian camps. Germany and Russia were speeding up and were pulling everyone to the camps. I think now both countries have attachments; Germany=WW2, Russia=Communism. The misunderstandings about the camps are connected to the political system. During history my mother didn't learn about Russia invading Poland in 1939 because the teacher had to say that the Russians were good.
