Target:
fostering a sense of pride and gratitude to the soldiers and officers of the Great Patriotic War who saved humanity from fascism;
teaching respect for veterans.
The audience: for all ages from 6 years old….
The war of 1941-1945 left us for sixty-nine years, but its cruel tragic image, 1418 anxious days and nights of the Great Patriotic War with the fascist hordes will forever remain in the memory of mankind. The exploits of those who liberated the people from enslavement, saved world civilization and brought the long-awaited peace to people will never be forgotten.

Not much time will pass and the opportunity to recreate the "living history" of the war will be destroyed forever. That is why the interest of children in the events of the terrible 40 years on the eve of the 69th anniversary is so valuable. Great Victory.

What drives the guys, what encourages them to return again and again to the events of 70 years ago? They are looking for their past, their roots, studying the history of the war not only fiction, documentary essays about the war, but also according to the memories of grandfathers and great-grandfathers passed down from generation to generation. Young authors recorded their stories - this is living history Great Patriotic War. We, adults, understand that the worst thing that could happen to our ordinary children, who, fortunately, did not hear the howl of bombs, who did not know the horrors of war, is ignorance and insensitivity. The worst thing is that without yesterday there is neither today nor tomorrow.

For the essays “War through the eyes of children”, for the respect shown to veterans who defended the independence of our Motherland in a fierce battle with fascism, for the memory of the heroic past of our people, I thank the pupils of the creative association “Needlewoman”:
Plekhanova Irina
Kivilevich Anastasia
Neverova Oksana

Manakhova Elizabeth
Thanks to the young artists participating in the competition visual arts"Forever in the memory of the people."
Many years have passed since the Great Patriotic War, but the stories of grandfathers and great-grandfathers resurrect the terrible image of the past, so that we know that it was so, so that we would protect the world that the soldiers won for us. To remember the heroes who gave the Motherland a Great Victory!
The most significant day in our history. The day when Nazi Germany fell. The day the Soviet flag was raised over the Reichstag. A day that went down in history as a day of greatness Soviet army. This day is May 9th.
On the eve of the main holiday of the country, our creative association hosted an essay and drawing competition “War through the Eyes of Children”. An exhibition of children's drawings on the theme "The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945" began its work. The exposition presents works in different genres. The drawings exhibited in the hall are the work of our pupils, young and old. Some of the artists have recently turned 7 years old, but their paintings are already on display at the exhibition.
June. Russia. Sunday.
Dawn in the arms of silence.
A fragile moment remains
Until the first shots of the war.

In a second the world will explode
Death will lead the parade alle
And the sun will go out forever
For millions on earth.

A mad flurry of fire and steel
It won't turn back on its own.
Two "supergods": Hitler - Stalin,
And between them a terrible hell.

June. Russia. Sunday.
Country on the verge: to be not to be...
And this terrible moment
We will never forget...
(D. Popov)

Children of war, you did not know childhood.
The horror of those years from the bombing in the eyes.
You lived in fear. Not everyone survived.
Bitterness-wormwood and now on the lips.
Svetlana Sirena.

author: Vasilyeva Lena 7 years old

The war passed through the children's lives menacingly,
It was difficult for everyone, it was difficult for the country,
But childhood is seriously mutilated:
Children suffered greatly from the war.
V. Shamshurin

Country Alert:
The enemy crept up, Like a thief at night.
Coming to our cities
Fascist black horde.
But we will reject the enemy so
How strong is our hatred,
What are the dates of the current attacks
The people will glorify for centuries.
(A. Barto)

The barge accepted the precious cargo -
The children of the blockade sat in it.
Faces unchildish, the color of starch,
AT heart - sorrow own.
The girl held the doll to her chest.
The old tug has moved away from the pier,
Pulled a barge to far Kobona.
Ladoga gently rocked the kids,
Hiding a big wave for a while.
The girl, hugging the doll, dozed off.
A black shadow ran across the water,
Two "Messerschmitts" fell into a dive.
Bombs, baring fuses sting,
Angrily howled in a mortal throw.
The girl pressed the doll harder ...
The explosion tore the barge apart and crushed it.

Ladoga suddenly opened up to the bottom
And swallowed up both old and small.
Only one doll came up,
The one that the girl pressed to her chest ...

The wind of the past shakes the memory,
In strange visions disturbs in a dream.
I often dream of big eyes
Those who remained on the Ladoga bottom.
Dreaming, as in a dark, damp depth
The girl is looking for a floating doll.
(A. Molchanov)

Last first fight
The bells have rung,
The ground is burning and the tracks of tanks are clanging.
The flare went up
Shattered into thousands of remains.

And so the first platoon went on the attack,
There are boys who are nineteen.
Tell me fate, what's your turn?
And how many times to attack?

He was the first to go: handsome, young,
His fiancee wrote to him yesterday.
The last was the first fight -
An accidental explosion and the boy was gone.

Get up, soldier!
Well, why are you quiet?
Get up, dear!
The earth will give you strength...
But he didn't get up. The poet will write a poem
And read aloud over the mass grave.
It was forty-one. There was a fierce fight
For the Motherland, for the blue sky.
For you and me to breathe...
Let's remember those who did not come from the battle.
N. Seleznev.

Russia will not forget beardless faces
Protecting the sunrise of the cornflower blue spring.
We'll never dream of anything again
So watch our young dreams for us.
We will never wear our orders
And in the parade along the stands we will not pass.
We are dead, but we and the dead believe:
The history of our names will not be forgotten.
We will return home to stay there forever,
We will sing the last song in the churches.
After all, the Russian soldier does not know how to surrender,
If he defends his Fatherland.
Stepan Kadashnikov

Soldier, remembering his way to the end,
Sheds bitter tears.

And the fallen are all alive in our hearts, -
Silently stand next to us.
(V. Snegirev ■)

Horses can swim
But - not good. Near.
"Gloria" - in Russian - means "Glory", -
It will be easy for you to remember.
There was a ship, proud of its name,
The ocean is trying to overcome.
In the hold, kindly shaking muzzles,
A thousand horses trampled day and night.
A thousand horses! Four thousand horseshoes!
They didn't bring happiness.
Mina pierced the bottom of the ship
Far, far from earth.
People got into the boats, climbed into the boats.
The horses swam just like that.
What were they to do, the poor, if
No places on boats and rafts?
A red island floated on the ocean.
In the sea in blue, the bay island floated.
And at first it seemed - easy to swim,
The ocean seemed like a river to them.
But it is not visible by the river of that region,
Running out of horsepower
Suddenly the horses neighed, objecting
Those who drowned them in the ocean.
The horses went to the bottom and neighed, neighed,
All have gone to the bottom.
That's all. And yet I feel sorry for them -
Red, who did not see the earth.

Another solid portion of retro photos in the project 20th century in color photographs.
Today we will look at what the world was like many years ago. More precisely, not the world, but.

In general, there are a lot of color photographs of 1941. The Germans shot on Agfa (Agfacolor) film, the Americans and the British on Kodachrome. Soviet color photographs of the Great Patriotic War are not known.

As you know, the German attack on the USSR was immediately preceded by a blitzkrieg against Yugoslavia. The operation lasted from April 6 to April 17, 1941 and ended on April 17 with the surrender of this Balkan kingdom.

During February 1941, German troops under the command of General Rommel were transferred to Libya, which led to a halt in the further advance of the British. And already at the end of March, Rommel's units went on the offensive.

The gun was as high as a four-story house, had a width of 6 meters and a length of 42 meters. The maintenance of the Fat Gustav gun was carried out by a team of 500 people under the command of a high-ranking army rank. The team needed almost three days of time to prepare the gun for firing.
A high-explosive projectile from this gun could hit a target at a distance of 45 kilometers.
