Voice 1
Hello. I’m Marina Santee.

Voice 2

And I’m Elizabeth Lickiss. Welcome to Spotlight. This programme uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live

Voice 1

On the 13th of February 1944, British and American airplanes bombed the beautiful city of Dresden in Germany. There was a terrible fire. Over thirty thousand [30,000] people were killed. They died in great pain - starved of air in rooms under the ground, burned to ashes by the fire, or overcome by the heat. There were many refugees in the city. They, too, were killed.

Voice 2

Why did it happen? People who survived asked this question many times. They did not know what to do. They were shocked. Their beautiful city did not deserve to be destroyed in this way. They were not ready for that. And they had not expected it.

People in England and America also asked this question. The pilot of one of the airplanes that took part in the bombing said: ‘I have asked God to forgive me several times’. But other people said that the bombing had to happen. They said it was needed to bring the war to an end.

Voice 1

After the war, people came from the church to help, to advise. They offered hope. They encouraged people in Dresden to help each other and to work hard. The Christian Bible would show them how to live. And people had to learn to live with little. And God would help them. But these people had much to think about. The fire had destroyed the most important Christian place in Dresden, the ‘Church of Our Lady’.

Voice 2

Five years earlier, bombs destroyed another important church. It happened in the city of Coventry, in England. German airplanes bombed Coventry in 1940. The bombs killed many people and destroyed the main church.
