Auswitch-Birkenau |
Q: How did you get there?
A: Firstly, I lived in Warsaw. Suddenly, one day the Nazi army entered into the city and started looting the houses and took us to places that we didn't know. The only thing I heard was screaming, wailing and shooting. Later, they placed us in large rows in which they classified us as animals. Already classified we had to walk to the train tracks and they were getting into animal vagons. At this point I was only with my older brother and I didn't know nothing about all my whole family. My travel was too eternal in which I hadn't notion time.
Q: What was your first impression of the camp?
A: My first impression was fear, because i didn't know what they were going to do me. Seeing the armed soldiers and treating us so despicably made me feel inferior.
Q: Sure it was horrible... How did they treat you in the camp?
A: Our lifes for them had no value. We worked all day and we did not have any reward, on the contrary they decived the prisioners saying that they would have as a reward hot showers but no one returned. After a while we realized it were not showers, were slaughterhouse...
Q: What has been the worst you have seen?
A: See my brother die, tortured by the soldiers and then be hung by the arms of a mast while a herd of hungry dogs tore every part of his body until I felt like I was snatched.
Q: How did you feel when you were free?
As you can see the camps were places of torture where almost nobody left alive.

Q: How did you feel when you were free?
A: Nowadays I can't believe that I no longer have to live nightmare. But as I saw how the Soviet army came in and killed the Nazi soldiers I felt happy but at the same time sad for having lost my whole family and don't know where to go. But I will never forget everything I've lived.
Q: Thank you for sharing this hard experience with us. You are very brave.As you can see the camps were places of torture where almost nobody left alive.
