Auschwitz too. 1943 **** began immediately. Hundreds of us men, women and Children, young and old, were crammed into waggons like human cattle so that we could only stand. No one could sit. It was bitterly cold. It was dark. We had one bucket between 50 of us and we were not able to do are necessary hygiene. There was no dignity, We didn't get any food and we didn't get anything to drink. We were so very hungry. But the thirst was worse. Our tongues were swollen with thirst. We finally arrived somewhere late at night and the doors were thrown open only to have horrible white light shone in our eyes. We were pulled out of those waggons onto the snow in a dreadful state. Immediately there was shouting, Rouse, rouse, Snell Snell dogs barking, SS barking guards kicking, shoving and cursing all the time. That hard light in our eyes. I have never been so frightened in my life.
