quotes, Monday, May 14, 2007, a recent webpage from a Buchenwald survivor who gives a different view

Buchenwald: another view

ATTACHED is a copy of a webpage by a holocaust survivor. The excerpts below do shed some interesting light on the treatment of Polish Jewish children in protective custody:

. . .
I survived (six years of imprisonment in
ghettos, labor camps and concentration camps as
a child during World War II). . .
When, as a nine-year-old, I spent a month in
Buchenwald, it never occurred to me that those
of my fellow-inmates who were Gypsies, Soviet
prisoners of war, or Danish policemen arrested
for helping the Jews escape, were undergoing
experiences that were different from mine….
Both of my parents survived, and I had no
siblings.

I have no tattoo (though I sometimes
perversely envied those who had them). I was
never beaten or starved. After the War I went on
with school at the normal grade level. And when
I recently visited the Buchenwald memorial site,
the foremost thought in my mind — unrepentant
cinephile that I am — was to find the location
of the barrack where I saw my first movie; never
mind that my first screen image was of a smiling
Hitler on horseback, introducing a newsreel.

The
search for the site of the barrack where I
actually lived took second place.
. . . I spent the last months of the
War, after Buchenwald, in the Bergen-Belsen
concentration camp . . .

I suspect that should you use this information that the good doctor will remove the original webpage.
