How Fakes Are Created in the West

This article comes from a series of posts at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden.

In April 2024, they were discussing in Germany the “children’s concentration camp” on the cover of a book about the GDR.

The Berlin satirical publishing house “Eulenspiegel” has released an illustrated book of stories about the GDR called «How We Lived, Who We Were». The cover features children dressed as «concentration camp prisoners».

The creators of the book, apparently, decided to also try to present the GDR as a large concentration camp. A number of booksellers have already expressed their dissatisfaction with this fact.

The story behind the photo

«Children in prisoners’ clothes. A photo smuggled from a concentration camp located on the territory of the USSR. These children were born in the camp and will grow up there until their parents are released.»

This text accompanied a picture published in the June 1978 issue of magazine «Stimme der Märtyrer» (“The Voice of the Martyrs”).

In fact, it depicted children from a nursery in Torgau (GDR, Leipzig district), lined up after a daily swim in a swimming pool. After swimming, the children from the nursery were wrapped in terrycloth robes with a hood. The photo was taken in 1976

THE POLITICS
The 22nd of June 1941.
Leaflet No. 2:

The German-Russian War

In a proclamation signed by Reich Chancellor Hitler, the Germans march on Russia on a front of 2400 km., from Finland to the Black Sea.

To the north, German troops are advancing from Norway along with Finnish divisions, from the Carpathians German and Romanian forces.

Hitler declared that Bolshevism stood in mortal enmity with National Socialism. Russia had been threatening Germany for a long time and eventually there were 160 Russian divisions positioned on Germany’s eastern border. The Soviets had thus broken the Treaty of Friendship. The imminent struggle revolved around the civilized world.

Mines have been laid in the Arctic Ocean and in the Baltic Sea, among other places between Bornholm and Sweden and between Bornholm and the German Coast.

Read THE POLITICS tomorrow
– Copenhagen


80 years ago, in the summer of 1943, the underground Communist Party of Denmark illegally published the book “2 Years” with newspaper clippings from the major German-controlled Copenhagen newspapers. The book is 70 pages long and is a rare historical document of the occupation-era official press coverage of the first 2 years of the war between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, the outcome of which became decisive for the future of mankind.

To honour the Resistance fighters and strengthen the memory of the great Victory of the USSR and the Red Army over fascism, we are now launching a digital reissue of “2 Years”!

The book is photographed and can be studied page by page and read in graphically adapted versions in Russian and English, respectively, as well as in a linguistically edited version in modern Danish. An extensive historical notebook has been added as well as text-to-speech descriptions for the blind and visually impaired of the book’s many fine colour illustrations in silkscreen by artist and resistance fighter Viggo Rohde, with sharp political caricatures of the Nazi Menagerie and the course of the war.

We see our collective memory as an important weapon against the advanced means and methods of modern war propaganda to which we are daily exposed, and, that Dr. Goebbels could not even dream of.

Read, remember, and get historical perspective on your contemporary events!
