A historical video diary from 1945. Contemporary witnesses report on the war, the liberation of concentration camps, their return home and the new beginning in post-war Germany. A soldier as guardian angel, the first radio interview of a Holocaust survivor, an escape over half-collapsed bridges, the first day of school in destroyed Hamburg - "My 1945 - North Germans remember the end of the war" tells in the form of a video diary how people from northern Germany experienced the year 1945: between chaos, doom and relief. "My 1945" is something new: for the first time, ECO Media and dbate.de have produced a historical video diary together with NDR. Contemporary witnesses who describe their year 1945 speak directly into the camera, describing their very personal memories. Their photo treasures are linked to the stories and rare archive material to create a new form of documentation. www.dbate.de facebook.com/dbate.de twitter.com/dbateonline instagram.com/dbate.de
