１９４５年にソビエトの潜水艦に沈められ、９千人以上が犠牲になった、ドイツの船の話
Summary
4 November 2011
Ten years ago UNESCO established a policy to protect shipwrecks over 100 years old.
The difficult question of how and if to protect more modern wrecks, particularly those in which people died, still exists.
１０年前にユネスコが１００年以上古い難破船を保護する方針を決めた。
それより新しい難破船、特に人々が亡くなった難破船について、どのように保護するか、また保護するかどうか、という問題がまだ残っている。
