We bring you life stories of survivors of the persecution facilities in Terezín and Litoměřice.
"The Germans issued an order to erect a gallows. All the people who sent out letters are in danger…"
"A second transport from Pilsen arrived. People were in a deplorable state. The newcomers were cowhided, quite gratuitously…"
"Night, quarter to two. Oh, those horrid bedbugs! It is impossible to sleep… They crawl around on the walls, on the duvets, all over our bodies, falling down from the bunks right into our faces."
"They fish partially rotten potatoes out of muddy, dirty pools. They are so old and weak, and nobody serves them."
"I had absolutely nothing in Litoměřice. We even had no mess tins. People lay on boards covered with straw; you just lay down as best as you could. It was terribly dirty there, I don’t know how those people could ever stand it."
"On many occasions I myself saw Jöckel slap inmates in their faces without any reason at all, until they fell down to the ground, and I saw him kicking the lying prisoners."
"When Shrimp started ranting and raving we all rushed to hide… A battered and trampled-upon man was left lying on the ground unconscious, and soon passed away."
"One Pole tried to escape, he was recaptured the following day, I think. He was tied to a post in the barracks for 48 hours; he died."
