come we'll sit all three together

in the front you know last night

i was reading about auschwitz

some prisoners working in the gas

chambers revolted

they killed three ss men and blew up a crematorium

crematorium

yeah for all for this they all got killed

what sneaked over the ammunition

for this they hanged them

they were good friends of anya from suzunavi

suzunavi

they hanged a long long time [Music]

hang

was very near to the end there in auschwitz

you hear that vladik the front is no

if we can just stay alive a little bit longer

longer

this boy worked in the office and knew rumors

the germans are getting worried the big shots

shots

here are already running back into the riker

they're planning to take everybody here

back to camps inside

germany everybody but a few of us have a plan

plan

we're not going

have a friend in the camp launching help

us get civilian clothes

he took me quick to an attic in one of

the blocks

this room isn't being used anymore when

the evacuation starts

we hide their clothing and

even identity papers

and half each day's bread

we didn't stand on the last

appels but came up to this attic

screaming gestapo

chased everywhere each prisoner got a bread

bread

a sausage and a kick

and a kick out out the gate to march

then this guy from the office ran in

they're going to set fire to the camp

and bomb

finally they didn't bomb but this

we couldn't know we left behind

every everything

we were so afraid even the civilian clothes

clothes

we organized and ran out

i'm going to move this so we can see now

let's get this

it was already night they gave to each

of us a blanket

and a little bit of food to carry and we

went out from auschwitz

maybe the last one

all night i heard shooting

he who got tired he who can't walk so fast

fast

the more we walked the more i heard shooting

and in the daylight far ahead i saw it

somebody is jumping turning rolling

oh i said they maybe killed their dog

when i was a boy our neighbor had a dog

what got mad

and was biting the neighbor came out

the dog was rolling so around and around

and now i thought how amazing it is

that a human being reacts the same like

one of the boys what we were

in the attic together talked

over to the guard

look the war is almost over

some of us want to escape into the woods

share this gold with the guards in front

and behind

we'll give you the signal late tonight

all day long they were arranging [Music]

[Music]

it's all said vladik help pay off the

guards and join us

that night was a commotion eight or nine

ran off

so the march was going and going forever we

marched and the ones what didn't fall

down we marched [Music]

and so we came over to grassroots and

there's a map appears to be they crossed

into germany wow

there's the map up there in the corner

here was a small camp with no gas

it was thousands of prisoners from all around

around

everywhere was confusion and hitting

terrible you shites

over there go haul the soup from the kitchen

kitchen

two to a two to each pail

you see what's going on here stay with me

i grabbed fast a guy what was still

most couldn't even lift they were weak

for marching

and no food quick quick behind i heard

yelling and shouting

i didn't look lazy bass kids

we got an extra portion soup for this

most were not lucky to be still strong

in the morning they chased us to march again

again

through the town we were going it was empty

empty

with no private people and we saw

it was such a train for horses for cows

we lay one on top of the other like matches

matches

like herrings

high up i saw a few hooks to chain up

i had still the thin blanket that gave me

i climbed to somebody's shoulder and

in this way i can rest and breathe a little

this saved me maybe 25 people came out

from this car 200

so the train was going we didn't know where

where

for days and nights nothing

no food no water only screams inside

you see people begin to die to faint

ah my legs i'm being stabbed oh

it wasn't room to fall and if he fell

so he jabbed to the legs with a knife

but usually

he anyway died

if someone if someone had to make a

urine or a bowel movement

he did it where he stood if he had still

some had sugar somehow but it burns

my throat i need water water give me

some snow

please please i beg you okay give me

some sugar

i'll give you some snow so i

the train stayed so without moving

then one day they opened throw out the dead

dead

if the dead had bread left or better shoes

shoes

outside were many trains standing

for weeks what they

never opened and it was everyone

they closed us again we were very happy

near to the door we piled new dead ones

each day the germans opened how many dead

dead

and we drew out and soon we had room

even to sit

then the train started again

going and going inside

we were more dying and some got crazy

they opened that we will throw out the dead

dead

all of you get down

you could not believe what we were seeing

there is the red cross

yes and the girls

are giving to everyone a snack

we didn't remember even how bread looks

then they chased us back to the train again

again

in the middle we found out that we were

from all the kansas of europe they now brought

brought

this was early february in 1945

it was no food and so crowded

look where you go ah

the shop right is there and you didn't

come on so come

we'll go in we'll go now and to give back

back

our to give back our groceries no

way i'm not going in to return a load of

open boxes and partially eaten

food but to be so ashamed

it's foods i can't eat you wait then in

the car

you know i'll bet you that anya's

notebooks were written

on both sides of the page huh

i can't remember what did why

why'd you say that well if there were

any blank pages

vladic would have would never have

burned them [Music]

[Music]

hey you can see him in the window

jeez latik and the manager are shouting

now the manager is just walking away

from him

and now vladica's trailing after him how embarrassing

i'd rather kill myself than live through

all that

what returning groceries no

everything vladik went through it's a

miracle he survived

uh-huh but in some ways he didn't survive

survive

maybe we should stay with him

a few days longer he needs help

are you kidding i don't think

we'd survive you

you see i exchanged and got six dollars

worth of new groceries

for only one dollar incredible

we were sure you'd get kicked out of the store

store

what are you talking the manager is a

very fine gentleman

he helped me as soon as i explained to

him my health

and how mala left me and how i and how

it was in the camps

boy get in

we can't ever show our faces here again [Music]

[Music]

now we'll drive so we'll drive back so i

can phone to my lawyer on mala

daca you were saying it was very crowded

in that camp

yeah this was a camp terrible

i had a misery i can't tell you here

we were closed in barracks sitting on straw

straw

waiting only to die in the straw

it was lice from the lice was typhus to eat

eat

we got only bread and soup

if it was any lice you got no soup this

was impossible

everywhere was lice and god forbid if

someone got soup

and someone spilled them a drop like

wild animals

they would fight until there was blood

here there in dhaka i got an infection

in my hand

i tried i tried to make worse and worse

my infection

i wanted they take me to the infirmary

each few days someone came to see

who is sick go with them

you see in the infirmary i heard it was

a paradise

put this ointment on your hand and keep

it bandaged

here i had three times a day something

to eat

and it was only two patients for each bed

bed

i worked how i could with one hand

so they like me that's strange

it should have healed by now i irritated

each day my hand

to stay longer hey there

i opened it up again this

hurt me really very very much i got

afraid for my hand

and let it heal i have still today a scar

scar

from the infirmary i had to go

back to a bad barracks where we were

what no there was nothing to eat

and nothing to do only to wait and to die

die

i could speak german yiddish polish and english

english anglais

let's see i talk english also a little

i was becoming crazy there is

no other french here and i do not know

how to talk

german i had nobody who to talk

you are a pole jew yes

how you know english i dreamed always

one day

to america so we talked and it made the

time lighter

good morning it is again very cold today

look at this my friend i have a box

he was not a jew so by red cross

they let packages come to him my family

sends i want that you also eat something

my god sardines biscuits chocolate

he insisted to share with me and it

with the new food i came to an idea

do you want to buy a bar of chocolate chocolate

chocolate

do i look like a millionaire i'll trade

it for your shirt

my shirt you're crazy i'd freeze

um give me your day's ration of bread too

too

and auschwitz a shirt was not so expensive

expensive

but here no goods came in

i cleaned the shirt very very carefully

and outside

i dried it i was lucky to find a piece

of paper

so careful i wrapped it i unwrapped only

when they called to super here was a shirt

shirt

with really no lice my old shirt i hid

in my pants

i showed the new one okay right away

they gave me to eat

what a genius vladik a genius

i helped the frenchman to also organize

a shirt so we both got suit

always but after a few weeks

i got sick even to eat typhus

i got very hot fever i couldn't sleep

typhus every night people died of this

at night i had to go to the toilet down

it was always full the whole corridor

with the dead people piled there you

couldn't go through

you had to go on their heads

and this was terrible because it was so

slippery the skin

you thought you were you thought you

were falling

and this was every night

so now i had typhus and i had to go to

the toilet down

and i said now it's my time now i will

be laying this one this one's

[Music]

i was alive still the next time it came

a guy from the infirmary

many did didn't live long enough

to go to die in the infirmary

there i lay too weak even to move

or to go to the toilet out from bed i

asked for help

i asked help from my fellows next to me

but in a few hours

they were dead and others came they gave

bread and soup

but i was too weak to eat so i put my

portion below my pillow

hey there's stale bread over all over

this one's bed

well take it away he'll neat he'll never

need it

i screamed but couldn't scream

i was too weak to scream so i took my shoes

shoes

and knocked loud stop that racket

ah keep your damn bread

i couldn't eat but i cut pieces to pay

so my fever fell down and something new came

everyone strong enough to travel line up outside

outside

you will be exchanged as prisoners at

the swiss

border as i dreaming only

they'd like to send out the sick ones

but not

so sick that we arrived dead

it was ve i was very weak but for my bread

bread

i had two friends what helped me

when they left me go for even

a second my legs didn't hold me

but i came somehow outside the gate

a train here was a train

not for cows and horses but a real train

i thought this train must be for the

gestapo but no

it took us out from dachau in the

direction to switzerland

whatever happened to that french guy you helped

helped
