"The earth is groaning beyond this gate."
75 years ago, in the last days of the summer of 1944, thanks to the incredible efforts of Soviet fighters, one of the most terrible Nazi concentration camps ceased to exist. It was Salaspils, aka Kurtengof, better known for the fact that children were used here as donors (very often full) for German soldiers ...
This place is located near Riga. About 100 thousand people were destroyed by Hitler's minions, executioners and monsters.
During the several years of the camp’s existence, many hundreds of liters of blood were pumped out of the children and very often it was withdrawn completely - this was called “full donation”. The bodies of small prisoners were destroyed in crematoria or simply dumped into recycling pits; A case is known when a German woman found a Belarusian woman barely breathing in such a pit - apparently, after the next fence, she was found asleep dead, but she survived, and a compassionate German woman left her.
From the testimony of the former prisoner of the Salaspils concentration camp Laugalaitis K.A
“Only in March 1943 they immediately drove 20 thousand Soviet citizens along with their children. The SS men immediately took their children from their parents. Terrible scenes occurred. Mothers didn’t give the children away, Germans and Latvian policemen literally wrested the children from their hands ... Breast babies and children under 5 years they were placed in a separate hut, where they died in droves. In just one year, more than three thousand children died in this way. "
“Despite the winter cold, the children who were brought naked and barefoot were driven into the hut, which was called the bathhouse, where they forced them to wash with cold water. Then, in the same order, the children, the eldest of whom had not yet reached the age of 12, were driven into another hut, in which they were kept naked in the cold for 5-6 days. "
“Infants and children under the age of 6 were placed in a separate barrack in this camp, where they died in masses and developed measles. Measles patients were immediately taken to the so-called camp hospital, where they immediately bathed in water, which cannot be done with this disease. the children died in 2-3 days. They turned blue, measles went into the body. In this way, in the Salaspils camp, the Germans killed more than three thousand children under the age of 5 years - this was from 19 May 1942 to May 19, 1942-1943. 1943, that is, for one year. "
From the Act on the extermination of children in the Salaspils concentration camp of May 5, 1945:
"Having examined the territory of the Salaspils camp of 2500 m² and during the excavation of only a fifth of this territory, the commission discovered 632 children's corpses presumably aged 5 to 9 years, the bodies were located in layers 150 meters from this burial site in the direction of the railway, the commission found that on an area of 25x27 m, the soil is saturated with an oily substance and mixed with ash containing the remains of unburned human bones of children of 5–9 years old - teeth, articular heads of the femur and humerus, ribs, etc. "
When it became clear that reprisals could not be avoided, the Nazis and their accomplices began to cover up traces of crimes. They transferred most of the remaining prisoners to other death camps, and this was burnt two weeks before the arrival of Soviet troops. You can leave behind the ashes, but you can’t erase the memory ... Of course, the modern Latvian authorities flatly deny what was once happening on their land .. the Latvian pro-Nazi authorities, in full officialism, declare that it was a labor camp.
Children's camp Salaspils
Whoever sees will not forget.
There are no worse graves in the world.
Here once was a camp,
