Hayley here, with all your top stories this Wednesday. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
Today, across the world, people will be remembering | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
It's a chance for people to take time to think about the millions | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
of Jewish people and others who were killed by Hitler | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
and his Nazi party during World War II. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Ricky's been finding out what happened and hearing | :00:29. | :00:29. | |
When World War II broke out in 1939, Germany was run by Adolf Hitler | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
Hitler thought Jewish people were inferior and planned ways | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
Anti-Jewish laws were passed and windows were smashed and Jewish | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
people were forced out of their homes. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
The Nazis rounded up millions of Jews as well as disabled people, | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
gay people and other groups that Hitler thought were inferior, | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
and sent them to prisons called concentration camps. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Families were split up and forced to do hard physical work | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Millions of Jews from across Europe died. | :01:06. | :01:15. | |
It is thought seven out of ten Jews across Europe died. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Some children did escape Nazi Germany. | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Ruth was one of those who managed to escape. | :01:22. | :01:22. | |
Street by street, the Jews were cleared, and any moment | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
We opened the door to a woman from the British Embassy who had | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
She brought the entry visa to Britain, train tickets to get | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
through Germany, through Holland and a ferry to Ramsgate. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Heinz also managed to escape the Holocaust. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Frank, my brother, was in Leeds and he tried to get me a trainee | :01:46. | :01:56. | |
post and he finally succeeded and we came to Leeds. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
We managed to get visas for our parents and they came, | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
thank God, because four days later war broke out. | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
Every year people remember those who lost their lives | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
It helps teach us about these terrible events and make sure | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
they are not forgotten so they can never happen again. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Gena Turgel was just 14 when her family were rounded up | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
by German troops and sent to a prison called a concentration | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
She was held for two years in terrible conditions | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
She now works hard to make sure people remember what happened. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Take me back to when you were 14. What happened to you? The Germans | :02:33. | :02:49. | |
invaded Poland and we found ourselves in Belsen concentration | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
camp and the Nazis came and shouted at us and there were no bunks, no | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
mattresses, no bunks, bare floors. One morning I woke up, stood up and | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
I could not believe my eyes. And the food was very scarce and nobody was | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
allowed to leave. The frost and the fear and the way we felt was | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
impossible to describe. Gena has written a book about her experience | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
and given many talks. She has been given awards for her work, telling | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
young people what happened. What happened to 6 million people, | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
children, innocent grown-ups, so much talent, so many doctors and | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
teachers and scientists and people who could contribute to the world. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
And all of them, for nothing, killed because they were Jews. This is why | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
I feel it is so important for young people and generations to come to | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
learn about it. We should never allow it again. | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
And go online to the Newsround website to read much more | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
about the Holocaust in our special guide. | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
And at 4.20pm, we'll hear from some children at a school in Manchester | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
who've been hearing from a man who survived the Holocaust. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Next, let's look at some other news now, and in tennis, | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Britain's Johanna Konta is through to the semi final | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
of the Australian Open after beating China's Zhang Shuai. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
She's the first British woman to get there since 1983. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Andy Murray's also made it to the semi finals. | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
He's beaten Spain's David Ferrer in three sets. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
Now a children's book has won one of the biggest prizes in British | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
writing for only the second time in the award's history. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Frances Hardinge wrote a supernatural tale called | :04:57. | :04:57. | |
''The Lie Tree'' which has scooped the Costa Book of the Year. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
The judges said it was a fantastic story. | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
Thank you very much, and many thanks to the judges for giving the lie to | :05:03. | :05:17. | |
what a lot of us were muttering, that a children's book never gets | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
it. I was one of those people. Thank you all very much. | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Now have you ever wondered how you have a good wash in space? | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
The problem is that if you pour water on a washcloth | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
So British astronaut Tim Peake's been showing us how it's done. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Zoos in China are taking special measures to protect animals | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
One in Shanghai has put a 24-hour heating system | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
The hippo pool is kept at 12 degrees, and at another zoo they've | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
heated plates below ground to keep the chimpanzees cosy. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Ricky's back later, so do come back then. | :05:58. | :06:00. |
