THEY PACKED US IN...
MAYBE FIFTY PEOPLE...
AND LET'S SAY A GROUP OF FOUR OR FIVE
MADE THEMSELVES A LITTLE PLACE...
AND THIS WAS THEIR LIVING SPOT.
THIS WAS THE TIME THAT I WAS SEPARATED FROM MY FAMILY.
WE WERE ON THE TRAIN FOR EIGHT DAYS UNTIL WE ARRIVED IN GERMANY...
TO THE FAMOUS KAUFERING.
IT WAS IN JULY AND AUGUST, RIGHT, THEY HELD US FOR A WHOLE DAY...
THE SUN WAS BURNING, NOT A DROP OF WATER.
THEY PUT US INTO THE BARN.
THEY GAVE US A LITTLE SPACE.
AND THIS IS YOUR LIVING QUARTER.
HEADS SHAVED TOP TO BOTTOM...
AND THEY GIVE US THE UNIFORM.
YOU HAD A NUMBER. THE NUMBER WAS...
ONE-TWELVE-TWO-FIFTY-TWO.
THE UNIFORM WAS, YOU HAD A PAIR OF PAJAMAS.
THIS WAS YOUR UNIFORM FOR TWENTY-FOUR HOURS.
DAY AND NIGHT.
AND I'M TALKING ABOUT WINTER TIME COME AGAIN.
THEY PUT US IN FOR NIGHT WORK, TO CATTLE CARS UNLOADING CEMENT.
COULD YOU IMAGINE THEY PUT US IN THE CATTLE CARS WORKING WITH CEMENT?
AND WHAT COULD YOU EAT?
CEMENT.
AND ONLY THING WE WANTED TO GET, WE HAD A WASHROOM.
IF YOU WANTED TO WASH YOURSELF UP.
BUT, IT WASN'T LIKE HOT WATER AND COLD WATER.
WE DIDN'T HAVE THREE MEALS A DAY.
WE GOT USED TO IT, THE STARVING.
THE ONLY THING IS WE WERE HOPEFUL.
ONE DAY IS GOING TO COME...
YOU'RE GOING TO GET LIBERATED.
