Part 4 - 1940 Friedrich Kelmer and Jewish friends from Warsaw flee from the Wehrmacht and SS. On the Eastern Front in Poland they encounter the Red Army and the NKVD (Russian State Security). You will be asked to return to Warsaw. Looking for work and food, they find work in a tobacco industry. But the tobacco industry is not a nice place. It is a labor camp where Mr. Kelmer and his friends have to work under the harshest conditions. There, Mr. Kelmer is being observed by Russian state security. Persecuted by the Germans as a Jew and viewed by the Russians as a German spy, Mr. Kelmer was innocently convicted of espionage in Moscow in 1940 after a long period of pre-trial detention. Verdict: 20 years in the Russian Gulag Vorkuta (Siberian penal camp). The harshest punishment in the former USSR.
The Odyssey of Friedrich Kelmer. Part 4/6.
Contemporary witness Friedrich Kelmer (*1920). Recorded: 2006
