Mr. B. remembers eluding the Russians after the outbreak of the war; living in the Łódź ghetto until 1940, when he was taken with the first labor transport to build roads; the liquidation of his labor camp and his two years of work in an I. G. Farben synthetic rubber factory under the jurisdiction of Auschwitz; and the death march from there to Gleiwitz, from where he was taken to Nordhausen/Dora. He tells of sabotaging missiles in the installation where he worked as a telephone repairman and encouraging others to do the same; his evacuation after three months; and the extreme dehumanization, including cannibalism, within the boxcar where he was confined for twelve days until his arrival at Bergen-Belsen. Mrs. B., who lived in the Łódź ghetto from 1940 until 1944, tells of the mistreatment of members of her family; passive resistance, including underground religious observance; her slave labor making German army uniforms; the routine selections; the liquidation of the ghetto; her arrival at Auschwitz; and the mistreatment to which she was subjected there. Both speak of their immediate postwar experiences and feelings. (Abstract)","This testimony is open with permission.
