"Those Were the Days" is an all-time classic that certainly has stood the test of time, with a history of success that spans over half a century.

However, this classic has also taken part in a much darker historical episode, which is what we are diving into in this video. First though, to not disrespect this gem, let’s take a quick look at the origin of the song.
