War debris at Stalingrad steppe
"We
think of the great battle on the Volga without
hatred or malice.
However, we consider Stalingrad to
be a lesson from
the past which, unfortunately, must be
remembered.
Should that war
be recalled? Some think not, but I
don't agree. That
war must be recalled until the time
when mankind will
say: "we don't want war and will do
everything
possible to prevent it so that never again
will there be war
on this earth".
There will be a
day when we shall stop recalling the
war and say: it
was the last - not because we should
like to believe
it is so, but because we shall know it
is so.
