Hi, my name's Kevin Hicks, welcome to my Youtube channel the History Squad. This is an incredible
story we've got here of a young Jewish woman who shoots dead first sergeant Schillinger as she's
about to go into the gas chamber in Auschwitz so this is an eyewitness account from a famous
book by Tadeusz Borowski it's this way for the gas ladies and gentlemen and this is about the death
of first sergeant Schillinger who was SS and he was in charge of a section in Birkenau I'll
switch to the death camp and this is what happened they were expecting a transporting that's going
straight to the gas chamber the conversation in the book tells you that I had to get them through
but it's understood that word got around that on this transport was the most beautiful woman there
are some say you know she was a ballerina or a dancer but in the book it doesn't say
anything like that these are other accounts now as they go through the process they are
the clothes are taken off they think they're going for a shower just as they're going into the shower
the gas chamber these women have stood there dozens upon dozens upon dozens of these women
totally naked totally vulnerable now Schillinger has got wind of this beautiful girl so we
understand money's changed hands he's going to buy her for his own use understand that yeah
he goes to the chief in charge the SS officer in charge he then walks straight up to this most
lovely girl who is so vulnerable now think about this he's got his gun out
he's not very tall he's a bit overweight horrible and then all of a sudden
this beautiful Jewish girl simply bows but then she grabs two handfuls of grit
and with all her might throws it straight into the eyes of this leering pig showing her
he squeals in pain drops his gun she picks up this pistol shoots him three times in the stomach
he falls to the ground screaming the SS chief runs over she takes aim and shoots him in the face
all the women in that transport there they now riot the SS run away now these commando who
have to do the gap you know getting everybody and these are all Jewish inmates they have to
beat these women with clubs to get them into the gas chamber but they've got no choice and every
one of those men will later be murdered another story they seal the gas chamber the SS are called
back and the women are gassed but I want to read this little bit from the book about Schillinger
“Schillinger was lying face down clawing the dirt in pain with his fingers we lifted him off the
ground and carried him not too gently to a car on the way he kept groaning through clenched teeth
oh God, my God fast haber, I'll tell you in English
What have I done to deserve such suffering”
This is a man who bragged and boasted that he had personally killed around ten thousand
Jews and yet he's asking God why should he suffer he died by the way and that woman
we don't know her name for sure. There'll be lots of comments on this, please bring it on.
