1. The Russenkinder association
We have set ourselves the following goals, knowing full well that after so long it will be difficult to meet them. But we definitely want to try:
- Representing the interests of Russian children
- The provision of information
- Historical considerations
- Honoring our parents
- Create public
- Publish

We can express more wishes, unfortunately we have no influence on them. For example, there is still the question of what people can learn from our fates.
70 years have now passed since the end of World War II. Have people learned from our experiences? No, on the contrary.
Wars continue to be waged, people are murdered, abducted, raped, livelihoods are destroyed.
Are we asked about our experiences? No, the winners' interests in war outweigh the human suffering caused.
With our experiences and résumés we want to be a voice in the choir of those who oppose violence and who remind of the consequences.
