One Day In Auschwitz

ouch wits the Nazi death camp where more than a million people mainly Jews were murdered people with families and friends ordinary people robbed of their future each had their own unique story of how they came to be at Auschwitz only a minority survived and today decades later very few can explain what happened there as witness to its human terror kitty Hart Markson was 17 years old when she arrived at Auschwitz Birkenau in April 1943 now she travels back one last time to answer the questions of a new generation my name is Kitty Hawk Moxon and I'm a Holocaust survivor designed as a factory of death no one was intended to survive let alone describe its inhumanity to a world not yet ready to listen no one wanted to know no one wanted to hear what I had to say but I made a commitment that people don't want to hear but I'm going to make sure that they will I've been here many times but I really wanted to come with two girls who were my age when I was here I want to show them the struggle for survival what we are first impressions of the camp there was just a most incredible mud and then we saw like a glow in the distance and soon when we got there we saw ghost-like figures who shaved heads staggering in tattered clothes with great big eyes screaming in all languages and being beaten and we sought my god this was going to happen to us I've known Kitty since I was born I've known about I saw her since I was little a sort of grown up with the influence of it what did you first see when you got off the train Alsatian dogs they were barking trying to get at us and I wanted to try and understand a bit better how she coped in this conditions and how she managed to survive for so long are we walking into the women's camp now I met him for the first time after the school talk she gave his my went up and asked some questions to her and I'm just kind of nervous and excited because I want to see it from a different perspective that I may have seen it in class and you see these stumps these are the chimneys of the wooden barracks what happens to you when you were in those formative years age 13 to 16 it shapes you and your character for the whole of your life a schvitz is where my grandma feels she belongs and he always calls her back Kinney heart was one of the first survivors to tell her story she gives us access to that experience with the power of her words you have to treat what kitty says almost like music I hear what she says and I also try to listen to what she has left unsaid you see this crossroad the cross around was the cross or two life or death the very fact that kitty was an eyewitness and can say this is what I saw actually ensures that it cannot be denied that the intentionality of the perpetrators is clear and it is indisputable that what she saw is what happened and as you walked you got stuck in this mud and all these people were falling around in the mud you cannot stand there and simply say this is okay this should never have happened it should never have existed and as a human being thinking about the experience of others you just realize this is no place for anybody to have ever been just prior to invasion my father decided we've gotta get out my brother fled with his friends to the Russian side they were asked to join the army the Polish army within Russian unit and eventually was killed and the Battle of Stalingrad so my father my mother and my grandmother we got all the last train the train just took us to Lublin and that's where everyone was thrown out and that's where we lend it out and we were taken to a part of the town which became the Lublin ghetto it wasn't possible to survive in Poland as a Jewish person without relying on somebody else so Katy's mother in a time of crisis what does she do she starts teaching English to people in doing that she creates a relationship with the priest priest told my mother if you come to a point where there's no way out just come and I'd see what I can do the priest then is able to help and put his life on the line to provide them documents to get them out we had to part for my father the priest said no way could we survive all three of us together my father was to go and work in this sawmill somewhere we didn't know where and my mother and I we were to go into the center of Lublin why because they were rounding up the Polish population as well and when they sorted them out they took them to work in factories in Germany and the priest said that's what we've got to do we're going to get out of the country and mix with these transport and get into Germany and they actually checked documents but our documents were in order you see and before my mother and I collected our thoughts we were in a train and landed up far far inside Germany it was very difficult for Jews to be able to hide within the Polish population because just small cultural and linguistic things such as accents would could creep in and change the perception of you as being truly a Polish citizen well what happened was because they suspected us one of them reported us talk to the authorities and that was our downfall kitty was arrested for illegal entry into Germany as Leo khadiyah dobchinsky and sent for interrogation the Nazis wanted to know the source of their false documents the irony of the Nazis was they could create death camps and murder Jews with impunity but if somebody broke a law they had to go through the penal system which was complete nonsense because they could have simply deported them to Auschwitz as Jews but because the legal system didn't allow it they eventually were deported to Auschwitz with a death penalty for immigration charges so we were told we were going to be executed by firing squad oh it was a brick wall and we had to face the wall with our arms up like that standing facing the wall and then there was a huge explosion and I thought god I'm I haven't been hit there was a great laughter they say oh no we're not going to kill you what's going to happen we're going to commute your death sentence to life imprisonment in Auschwitz and we're going to hand you over to the camp they'll find out where when these documents came from so we're in a train that was specially converted to transport prisoners and we traveled 48 hours standing before we arrived in Auschwitz what we had absolutely no idea where we were it was dark what did you first see when you got off the train wow the thing opened up and all you heard an awful lot of noise we scared well we were scared of the dogs and and under great big women with whips and our were whipping everyone and urging everyone to run run run everything at the running pace suddenly there was a weird kind of stench and then closer we got the worst stench became my mother my mother said what a curious place there can you smell can you smell hosting me yes I can she said would you think that hosting chickens en this time of the night but I don't know Kitty and her mother were sent to Birkenau the largest of the 44 camps in the Auschwitz system where they were processed and sent to quarantine when did you first stay in a wooden barracks well this was the quarantine ok so the first night we were pushed into here do you find somewhere to sleep well we reach squeezing somewhere here I was incredibly cold that night because we were 48 hours without food and and I slept all night next to a woman and she started speaking to me in German it turned out she was a German gypsy during the early morning why she was talking to me she looked at my hand she took mine she said give me your hand and she said you know you're going to come out and the next thing that happens whistles blues really you're still in dark and I buddy was sent houses I was out and we've got this was quarantine we didn't know yeah and I shook this woman you know yeah and she didn't move and I said to my mother she's cold she dead and I said you know you're cold I'm cold we need to strip her and we need to have everything she's got surviving Auschwitz was virtually impossible and there was certainly no way you can say if you did this then this would happen it was a matter of luck and chance and being in the right place at the right time but there were some circumstances and some strategies that kind of worked that came to me that night that actually that's the way to do it but if you do have the people that had died you got to take everything off them girls not good to them was it you had to do what you needed to do to survive and that was taken from the dead that's what it meant not in the history of mankind has there been industrial killing on this scale if something happened once there's up to knew no reason why it can't happen again in 1943 Kitty was assigned to work on a new rail line in - birkenau called the RAM in 1944 she watched as transports of Jews from Hungary started to arrive what was the importance of the RAM people arrived in cattle tracks and sometimes 7 or 10 trains would alive in insane 24 hours and people were sealed in almost airtight just a little bit of air coming through the [ __ ] sometimes the trains were sealed here for hours before they were allowed to unload did people die in the trains yeah a lot of people died before they arrived here some people travelled several days before they arrived here did anyone have any idea what was happening when they got off the train people had knocked the fungus idea what was going to happen so people coming from the ghettos so they didn't expect anything you know good obviously everything was very nice and quiet because they didn't want people to panic so loudspeakers were here telling people well there's a lot of typhus here and so you're all going to be disinfected and we got to split went from women and women whose children leave your luggage leave your luggage you're going to get your luggage later and then songs came right left men this way women this way women with children on one side younger people are younger you can go that way oh you're older you take your child with you and be fine you take your child we're not going to split you up it was shocking to see that you stood in the exact same place as those people did watch at the ramp women with children and the elderly were sent directly to their death and if you were young and able-bodied and if at that period of time they needed workers then you were chosen for slave labor which essentially meant that you were chosen to die slowly not to die immediately in the gas chambers let me tell you at this point feminists were split never ever saw one another again so some of the men were taken this way hmm okay some of the girls that I kept selected to go into the camp would take a look through there you were just told to go that way and you know the road there where does that go the gas chambers that's it what happened when you arrived at camp well we were taken to a building like this which we didn't know what it was but it was a call to Sona not like you and I understand it a processing place and the first thing that happened to you you were stripped everything was taken from you you were smeared with a green fluid your hair was shaved everywhere that was then packaged and shipped off for processing hair was used both to create cloth and to launch submarines and his detonators and then you were tattooed and believe you me that was when you felt you and Haines got the same person when that tattoo was placed on your arm you want what your parents are giving you as your name you became that number and that was your identification completely taken away not only is it a disgusting thing to do to human beings but that's my grandma and they wanted to turn her into an animal without your hair and without your clothing you lose something very distinctive about you and there are people who remember at that point that they looked ridiculous it was hard to imagine how she survived every corner she turned there was something trying to stop her from living first of all survival depended on a place of work if you were working outside them you know the commandos which I work parties you hadn't had a prayer to survive for long the other thing you couldn't survive it without a pair of shoes well the problem was that you were issued wooden clogs your clogs would get stuck in the mud your feet would rub don't get infected you were dead if you didn't have your bowl you were dead because nobody gives you their bowl so survival depended on if you could not think about anything just have a tunnel vision and think like an animal just picture yourself as an animal do what does an animal needs well it doesn't need very much just to live but the first thing it needs to get away from the Predators get away from all these people that are trying to kill you there were couples who were prison foremen and they became more cruel than the German masters themselves well how do you get away from these people any of the hurting prisoners could come up to your killer and consequently you couldn't figure out a strategy for survival - which there was no why it was done by when did you know that the the wooden sheds were actually meant for 52 horses and so they put these bunk things up there there were a thousand people in a thousand people inside that's right what happened in the first thing in the morning when you woke up you were woken up with the sound of whistles roughly around about 4:00 in the morning so long calls took place twice a day and huncle's was one of the greatest terrors of the camp whistles blew and everybody screams out out out schnell the house house total chaos a thousand people had to rush out of this door under sea a ground she's looking at grass but you must look at mud the whole thing was just one sea of month I've always said if you found a blade of grass what would you do with it you did it um so people were just staggering around the mud but of course you had to stand to attention selection didn't just take place on arrival at Auschwitz it was a daily occurrence in fact anytime that prisoners were together if anybody at any point in time tipped over into that place where they were no longer useful to the Nazis they could simply be selected and sent into the gas chamber people just collapse and die died of tiredness of exhaustion of shock did you ever have to collect the corpses after alcohol yes yes oh yes that if when I was in the lighten commander this is what we did well I don't know if people realize but when you are hungry hunger is a total obsession you're just thinking hunger Hunger must have something to eat a must if I don't eat something I'd die it depended where you were in line as to how much nutrition you got if you're at the beginning of the line you got pure water if you're at the end of the line you had a problem because they might run out of food and if you knew the person who is ladling out the food then in one sense they dug deep and they got this stuff in the soup that landed at the bottom whether it's a potato or a carrot or something hunger is the worst thing that anybody can experience I think did you say in a book like this then if you were lucky there was a one straw mattress and one blanket for eight people how did eight people sleep here like sardines next actually you got it head to feet so he had somebody's feet in your face yeah did people die in the night then did you a spirit died in the night that's right if somebody died next to you all of a sudden you found your own body heat going out you needed the warmth of the other body in order to stay I wouldn't say warm but to stay less cold during the frigid nights suppose you need to go to the toilet at night there's no toilets in here well either no toilets be you are not allowed out the barracks had buckets now veteran prisoner would try to judge when to go to the bathroom at night by such a way as listening very carefully to what happened to the prisoner before you to make sure that you weren't the last to fill the bucket because if you're last to fill the bucket you had to take it out and empty it you look good look at that you have to sit in this mud that's just month yeah that's right and very often there was a mess here as well yeah because you couldn't get to the button you had the permission to even during the night to use the bucket so those were your living quarters it was just so horrific to think that anybody could stuff all these people in this tiny space I have a place to go to the toilet and I have a place to sleep and I've placed to have food and I know that I will get it the Nazis made sure and every way possible you didn't get what you needed something to eat somewhere to sleep and I'm afraid if you don't mind the language somewhere to [ __ ] now what I'm going to show you is the latrines okay now see that entrance mm-hmm thousands thousands had to get through this entrance and of course there was a functionary prisoner in charge and wouldn't let you in but did you know I worked there at one stage so let's just show you what it was like how did you get the job to work here well I had to buy myself to work I thought it'd be good place at least I'll have access to the lavatory yeah it was horrible there's nothing further from what a 16 year old girl would want to be doing with her life than having her arms in [ __ ] and yet for her that was a privilege because when she was in the choice come on though it meant that she wasn't digging a ditch she didn't have somebody flogging her to death because she couldn't dig fast enough she wasn't actually freezing to death because she was inside and what's more the Nazis were nowhere near that place so being in the shyest commando was a 16 year olds dream in Auschwitz so doctors open sewer thousands of women going in there you had like two or three people to a hole because she didn't have it to yourself and then when people for finishing that you had to dig all that stuff out so everything had to come out think of the idea that you have 35,000 people using these retreats so it was designed again to dehumanize the people to degrade them to make them live in their own filth why do you demonize these peoples you're gonna kill them anyhow because if people look like a lump of feces then it's easy to flush it down the toilet what would happen if you couldn't get in how would you go to the toilet you had your bowl yeah and your bowl was virtually your food or your toilet yeah the problem was washing it out all right how did you wash it out no water in the winter you had snow you could wipe it out in the Sun wage wasn't so and you couldn't do anything on the ground because it's somebody'd pick it see you get in trouble well never mind in trouble you get killed yeah yeah full-stop if we haven't got the words to describe the intense cold well I was think of penguins actually how did Penn penguins survive on the Antarctic when if you look at them they huddled together and try to have body heat from each other well that's exactly what it was so that was trying to overcome the cold it must have been horrific to have to stand still in the cold with no shoes hours and hours on end when she was hungry starving tired and there was nothing she could do about that during a selection that was most feared because there you knew at random you could be selected to die so fear that was the greatest fear selections what's this Brock carrot well this is called block 25 you see the number here and you see the bars on the windows yeah well that's the only block that had the but it's called the best block block 25 was the place where inmates once they had been selected were sent to away to death the nancy's of course because they were operating the camp as efficiently as possible wouldn't simply select two or three inmates and then send them to the gas chamber because it wasn't worth telling the gas chamber on so what would happen is they would collect several hundred of these prisoners who at the end of their usefulness and then dispatch into the gas chamber when it was convenient I'm going to explain to you what's inside here now I already kept away from here because when selections were taking place in all these blocks people would have to undress and turn around in front of the SS doctor and if you didn't like your skin no if you are too thin or if you couldn't walk they would take a mark and mark up your numbers did anyone survive that went in there no no nobody sorts you a no you could never get anyone out once they were here that was the end you were very taken aback by it kitty told me that they had no clothes and you could see that their hands were through the window begging for food or water or anything the reason block 25 has such a prominent place in her memories of course because all of the inmates in the women's camp could see it it was right alongside their own barracks they could hear the desperation of the women that were in there knowing that there was literally no way out of course everybody kept away from me and when they opened up the doors smell the stench went right through the camp but language was a big big problem because the camp had its own language and it was actually combined German and polish sort of slang for instance the woman who was in charge of the blog was called the student eldest so okay so if you didn't know the German word you wouldn't have known what it was her helpers were called to bother Stuber is a is a room in German but it was kind of made into polish it was a slang that you had to understand and that was a problem with the Greeks the Italians the Hungarians they just couldn't understand if you didn't again you couldn't survive I lost my friends all the time and that was the worst of it that you had your friends you established the contact you already had someone that was had access and you could get this and you could get that and you can get a bit of food and then all of a sudden they were gone just having somebody that you knew that could help you in a given moment in time could be the difference between life and death everybody needed the friendship or the sense of I need you to be able to mediate a situation wasn't designed to allow you to live what were their white things on these fences now if you look at these white things that's high tension electric fencing you are very very cautious not to go too close because if you did you committed suicide people commit suicide often that was the easiest way out you just touch the fence and you are dead and if you touch this person you were dead as well because the electricity would pass through your body to the next person or you were shot from the watchtowers if you came too close so yes people went on defense yes there was one universal word which was called organizing and that wants to get in getting hold of didn't matter what it was when you bought it whether it was stolen whether you found it it was all one word and it was called organizing I organized some bread I organized the pair of shoes I organized something to wear so what did women do they always try to get two or three together four was the best one working in one place one working perhaps and access to the toilet like I did at one time one had access to water one perhaps of access to some clothes to the sauna and that's how you exchanged and that was the mutual support that was absolutely vital to survival if you didn't have that you couldn't survive we're going to block 12 because all that was part of the sick bay did you come here a lot then I tried to hide there just to conserve my energy my mother sometimes were tied me somewhere Kitty's mother was a very highly educated and cultured woman once she got into the Holocaust her knowledge of German was going to be really important to her she had both the physical attributes and the mental attributes to be able to work her way through very difficult circumstances and my mother worked right throughout the time she was working there she was supposed to be a nurse was casta couldn't nurse anyone my mother psychologically tried to keep people alive by simply begging them to live another day working in the hospital meant that her mother was able to help Kitty between the two of them they could work together to enable just increasing the chances of survival a little my mother was working an infirmary an infectious blocker when I had typhus I was on on my mother's block and I was lucky enough to to be told I'd be able to stay and work within the you know within the infirmary so I was a glorified cleaner but really my function was to bring the bodies out that died dream people die during the night some of the bodies were up there so two of us had to climb up there and get Bob to get to the corpses down drag them all the way and stack them up outside and I actually hid some of my friends here I managed to bring them in here because I had access but I told them it was the most dangerous place to be because nearly every day the SS doctors would come in and carry out selections they would sit people up sometimes they had to jump if they couldn't jump over the seating channel mm-hmm they'd be killed of course the sick couldn't get down so the SS doctors would just be the chalk mark up yeah a bunk well of course we know what happened dr. Mengele came and said today we're emptying this block which meant today they'd all going to die didn't know it was happening but they already knew what was happening so we had to stand like this hmm sir in a circle holding and that's when I lost most of my friends and that broke me I never got over that my mother realized what was going on and from somewhere she appeared and she just grabbed me and pulled me away and at that point you know we thought well what's going to happen next it's all empty then we're gone and I was on my own there was place called Canada named after the country Canada which was the place in which they confiscated all of the valuables they sorted it they inventoried it they then shipped it back to Germany for use they came and said we're going to ask you to join the candidate my mother said they'll be food there you must do it there will be food you'll find it among the clothes and so I said yes okay and that's how I got to the Canada I'm going to tell you why I've brought you here thousands upon thousands of people were brought in with all their belongings yeah kitty really wanted to tell the story of Canada for her it's about evidence each one of those suitcases belonged to a human being and each one of those coats has worn by one of those human beings what she's trying to get across to us I think is just the scale of the killing based on the scale of that side so a 30-cent here all full of people's belongings and we were here to do the sorting of the belongings how long we working here for I was here eight months there were two pathways that pathway at the bottom had a huge heap like three-story high everybody's things jumbled up all the suitcases were emptied their documents children's clothes grams everything was jumbled up down the bottom there and then it was taken to individual sheds and there it was sorted my particular job was sorting nothing but men's jackets so I had to find these men's jackets and I couldn't always find them because I had a certain quota that I had to make what happened if you didn't make the quota oh you got punished if you didn't make the quota and in the shed for some a long table like a trestle and you put the jacket on the trestle and you opened up all the seams what do you think was in these jackets lots of jewelry and lots of jewelry diamonds jewelry money of all different denominations did you always give everything in or did you sometimes hide it if you kept one single item of any value that was the end because there's constant inspection so you can keep it and you know we found a lot of paper money yes you can you imagine yeah what do you think we did with this paper money good wasn't any good to you you couldn't buy anything what did we do with it you did insulation now relocate Zoila toilet paper yeah all current dollars Kona's no whatever currency there was was used as toilet paper one of the SS who took us to the Canada and made a speech and he said because your hair you're never going to be back in the main camp because what you see we cannot allow it there's only one way out of here and that's turn the chimney what is this place well yes it is ruins hmm that's all we can see that was known as the White House this was a place where the design of the command and people who were working inside the gas chambers they were working here we were not supposed to be here you see where the sauna is that's how close we after Sorna we're not allowed to come here however on about four or five occasions I managed to pass this place and the circumstances where that we took some clothes in hent cars and we were told to take those handguard back to the main camp now the SS woman that accompanied us she didn't like going in between the fences because she was afraid that she's gonna get electrocuted so she decided to take us this way so what happens we walked along here and we passed this place here which was a white house people were lined up mostly men we're lined up here all the line of men each one was sort of going in as you were passing by and you could hear a shot and we were told by the men I just on the condom being shot in the neck you just hear how could you feel you could hear that you could hear the shot yes you could hear a shot now the other thing is that she said you mustn't look round you walk and you keep your head down but we did see so what did we see we saw some men throwing in bodies into pits and smoke coming out and fire coming out of the pits and those were some of the bodies that they couldn't burn in the the adults they were bringing them in here and burning them in pit sand this is a pit there were you seeing all this vegetation and I actually found one pit some years ago and found human remains and I think it was that pit over there and I passed us about four or five times within the eight months that I was working here how did it make you feel when you passed it was a horrific horrific sight and we didn't even want to look but of course we did you know it was forbidden but it was just horrific because you you were just seeing bodies being burnt and the fire coming out of the pits and smoke all over the place there were several who passed several pits there was one year there was another one down there but there were many many pits here but if I recall that one particularly very close to the sauna this is where people died The Killing part of outfits I know it can't see anything everything was burnt in that area to erase all traces of murder in 1944 five gas chambers were working at full capacity kiddy heart Moxon was placed in the Canada section at Auschwitz Birkenau oh right alongside crematorium number four we're Jews were being gassed everyday right at the back of the fence whilst the gas chamber and camera tone was number four and we had a direct view into that gas chamber see this wood there yeah that's where groups of people were sitting small children running around but no idea what was going to happen they were herded into the crematoria there was an undressing room and people were told remember where you hung your clothes because you're gonna get it back well we had no contact because we were behind the wire and also just very dangerous you were not allowed to communicate yeah it wouldn't have helped no if you just tell these people when you know I'm going to die is that the hell doesn't we felt it's better they don't know and as they were herded into gas chamber gas stream was sealed one of the SS personnel would put on a gas mask and he would climb up on a ladder for the tin in his hand and he would throw in some powder that was a gas and then all of a sudden you just had to scream the grandma Turin gas she was a huge thick walls you could hear the people actually suffocating there and screaming and eventually after 20 minutes it was quiet the sundar commando worked in the gas chamber reported that people climbed up on top of each other and they sort of were in a sculptural pyramid the gas was evacuated and then they were taken to the ovens and there was a dissecting table they opened them up to make sure that people did not die with something valuable inside themselves what Birkenau essentially did was to reduce the human being to consumable byproduct of the killing process and the very next thing you saw was the men with wheelbarrows taking ash and dumping it in a pond at the back do you think I could actually believe it no did you and your friends talk about it what you saw we've tried not to talk about it we knew it was happening but you know we decided to do muscle talk about it don't look don't look we know what's going on but don't look at it little did the Nazis know that for months Jewish prisoners that had been forced to operate the crematorium were planning an insurrection on October 7 1944 kitty was witness to the uprising that day that was just a loud noise and when this noise happened we saw that was it my friends and I was through ourselves down death like that overhead lie flat on the ground armed resistance was not a decision whether to live but most often a decision had died we do know that there were resistant movements the poles had the resistant whom the Jews had the resistance movement but we did never knew who these people we're because it was so incredibly dangerous we didn't know it was uprising until we saw the man actually come over they seemed to have cut part of the fencing because that was electrified fence here so they seemed to have cut the fence and hell no when they tried to escape somewhere yeah I don't know where but the Hyundai they were running all over and we were just lying down spread-eagled because that was the safest thing to do there was a general shootout there came in on motorcycles with machine guns and I think they got most of the men kitty was also a witness to the fact that Jews did not go to light lambs to the slaughter but they were thinking about what they could do to overcome the Nazis and with absolutely no chance whatsoever to get hold of the explosives to be able to overcome the the tight strictures on them these Jewish people did that following uprising was a huge inquiry like a whole roll call with an inquiry and during that inquiry a one of the SS woman came and called my number three nine nine three four and I was transferred back to the main camp and had no idea why I found out later it was my mother who managed to speak to the one of the common guns and told him I'd been working eight months there and that she was being evacuated and asked him I could be evacuated and that's what happened so why do you think that he let you go we don't know we don't know I think my mother spoke this perfect German and she didn't bag she didn't crawl she just got up there and spoke asked to speak to him in a proper manner and I think he took it on board and and called my number well I was transferred to the main camp we wound this list to be evacuated and my mother looked around and she saw oh my goodness we are all with his functionary prisoners I want the felt killers and we were put into a cattle truck and my mother made a speech just remember we are leaving here we are all equal from now on we are no longer heavier functions and remember we may need one another's help so from now on you're all going to be friends and that's what happened after leaving a schvitz Birkenau in November 1944 Kitty and her mother went through a further six camps and several death marches before finally being liberated insults fatal Germany April 14th 1945 liberation was at best bittersweet it meant that for the first time they had to confront loss loss of parents loss of spouses loss of children loss of entire communities loss of entire worlds and for years they had guarded themselves from feeling anything and once they felt the feeling of vacuum of emptiness sometimes shattered them you tried not to be emotional about anything if you did the emotions would just take over and you couldn't go on that a civilized nation would take people on a train bring them to gassing annihilate them confiscate and recycle the elements of their body and do that systematically day-in day-out it's inconceivable how could this happen I felt very ashamed at the world and very just upset that this could ever take place some people see it as just a time in history but they don't understand how it relates to us today we are the ultimate proof of her survival if she hadn't found the hope to keep on going I wouldn't be sitting here now what I want to show you is what stirs water it's incredibly important to tell you about this water women men children all that's a final
