an unknown episode in the history of the concentration camp

The Death Marches
At 8:50 p.m. on Arte
In the spring of 1944, the Red Army and the Allies advanced towards Nazi Germany. The IIIe Reich then took the decision to evacuate his concentration camps in Poland and the Baltic countries. The deportees are transferred to the Austrian and German camps, in order to serve as manpower to support the Wehrmacht in its last military efforts.

The Death Marches by Virginie Linhart returns to this often poorly known episode in the history of the concentration camp and of which there are few archive images. A few photos and videos taken clandestinely provide an overview of these tragic displacements without showing their extent. It is estimated that several hundred thousand people would have been displaced and that approximately 30% of them would have died. But these figures are approximate.
The illusion of liberation
The documentary gives the floor to former deportees as well as witnesses to recount the horrors of the abuses committed during these marches. While they regained hope with the release of the camps, the victims found themselves walking in the cold, hungry, exhausted, under the threat of arbitrary executions. Some perish during train journeys, piled up in unsanitary conditions. Because if the generic term “death marches” remained, the majority of trips were actually made by rail.
The political context is extensively explained to understand what decisions led to such chaos. The camp officers were first in charge of organizing the trips. Then the responsibility was left to the guards and finally to the civilians recruited into the Volkssturm, the popular militia raised in 1944 by the Wehrmacht. A disorganization that reflects the gradual disintegration of IIIe Reich.
The images are difficult, the words too. But the documentary is necessary to preserve the memory of all those who did not return, to whom the film is dedicated.
THE ESSENTIAL
- Patients who wait more than 5 hours in the emergency room before being admitted there are more likely to die within 30 days of the hospital visit.
- Since January 1, 2022, each patient not hospitalized following a visit to the emergency room must pay an amount of 19.61 euros.
Burns, sprains, breathing difficulties, severe headaches… These different reasons can lead a person to go to the emergency room. Once arrived at the hospital, it often happens that the patient must take his illness patiently because the waiting times from his time of arrival can be very long. According to a study published in the journal Emergency Medicine Journal January 18, patients who wait more than 5 hours before being admitted to the hospital department are more likely to die within 30 days of being taken to the emergency room.
For the purposes of this work, the UK researchers relied on data from the UK Office for National Statistics and Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). The latter focused on patients who had been admitted to the emergency room in England between April 2016 and March 2018. The scientists compared the recorded deaths from all causes within 30 days of admission and took into account several factors (gender, age, time of day, service congestion at the time of the visit).
A high risk of death following a waiting time of more than 5 hours
According to the results, 26,738,514 patients visited the emergency room during the study, of which 5,249,891 were admitted to the hospital department. A total of 433,962 deaths were recorded in the 30 days following the hospitalizations. “A significant increase in mortality was observed from 5 hours of waiting following the time of arrival in the emergency room”, can we read in the works. The researchers found that the death rate increased by 8% for people who waited more than 6 to 8 hours in the emergency room.
“Between 5 and 12 hours of waiting, delays lead to a dose-dependent effect (e.g. prescription of analgesics for pain relief) predictable. For 82 admitted patients whose transfer to a hospital bed is further delayed 6 to 8 hours from the time of arrival in the emergency room, there is a high risk of death”, the study authors said.
Scientists have suggested that long waiting hours delay patient care and increase the length of hospitalization. According to them, patients who have waited a long time before being admitted to the emergency room are more likely to contract a nosocomial infection. “This study confirms that care decision-makers should continue to require prompt admission to the emergency department to protect patients from hospital-associated harm,” concluded the scientists.
