I went back to Rouen. There were three or four of us. We had lost hundreds of friends.

Upon our arrival there were ambulances waiting for us, taking us where we told them to. In my case, that was to my parents.

The officer calmed me down and sent the other one out.

Day to day life in the camp started with the morning role-call.
-
The camp was huge.
-
I think we were a hundred thousand prisoners.
