Tag #156758 - Interview #78355 (Mrs. Gábor Révész)

On May 8, Victory Day, there was a great big celebration with fireworks and music.46 In as many languages as there were nations in the camp, they announced that the war had ended, meaning in Europe, and that the Germans had capitulated. In short, there was a huge to-do. And I thought, surprised, the war is over only now? As far as I was concerned, it came to an end three weeks earlier, when we were liberated. It was so strange. That’s when we realized that it was over for the others, too, most probably, meaning for those back home.
