Yesterday's Witness
Five Years' Nightmare
The extraordinary story of a teenage girl on the run from the Gestapo in wartime Europe. One sunny day in May 1940 the 16-year-old Gergana Taneva was out walking with some friends 'when suddenly there were screams of German voices and we found that the street from all sides was closed. A big lorry drove in front of us and then another and another one. We were panic-stricken. We started to run...' It was the start of a five years' nightmare.
