  ... the workers of their belongings. The Nazi labor and concentration camps constitute one of the saddest, depressing and most painful chapters in the history of human brutality. It left "mark of Cain", on every one. who had something to do with them, "labor camp" these two words spell out, hunger, terror, torture, murderous, beatings and degradation, until redemption came by the Angel of Death. The labor-camps as well as the ghettoes were a long legend of suffering. It was a Gehenna, a veritable inferno on earth.

  ... trying to keep one step ahead of the enemy — these prevented us from realizing the futility of our situation, nor did we have the slightest premonition of what calamities the future held in store for us. The way back was full of dangers and we had no conception of the changes that had taken place at home since we left. Of the journey back two events stand out in my memory, in both of which we confronted the Angel of Death face to face and bested him by what was virtually a miracle. The way to Ostrick was filled with Ukrainian peasant gangs proliferating like mushrooms after the rain, who had organized themselves into gangs in order to rob the refugees of their rucksacks, shoes, money and watches. They armed themselves with sickles, scythes, pitch-forks and iron bars, falling upon ...
