-
for example a story like this – we are going through the field,
-
there was supposed to be cabbage but were only dried stalks,
-
the ground was creaking and giving way under our feet.
-
Those were human bones,
-
it was the rest from the crematorium,
-
everything from there was emptied out there and dug up and then they planted cabbage there.
-
Then we came closer to the crematorium.
-
There were parts of bodies, some of them prepared to be taken to the chamber.
-
People were put in a row, gunshot in the back of the neck", the bodies were brown.

-
We always had a scarf on our head to cover our hair and protect it from the smell,
-

-
We lived in barracks, men together with women.
-
