Contents/Summary
- Summary
- In February 1945 at the Yalta Conference, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin agreed a deal that would unsettle and destroy the lives of thousands of Germans. Secret Order 7161 was the result. It allowed the Red Army to “mobilize and intern for assignment to work in the USSR all able-bodied Germans” to revitalize the USSR’s war ravaged economy. With that decree the fate of four women – Charlotte, Traute, Delheid and Dora - was sealed. Along with thousands of others, they were forced to march to work camps and endure a regime of hard labour. The mental and physical torture the detainees endured only ended when they were released after five years. “Journey Back to Youth” reveals the consequences of the Order 7161 through the eyes of four of its survivors.
