ln the spring of ´43, the city of Berlin...
1:19:10
...was cleansed of the last Jews.
They came and took...

1:19:14
...my famiIy and myseIf aIong.
1:19:16
We were taken to a coIIection point.
1:19:18
After a coupIe of days, we were deported...
1:19:21
...to Auschwitz, though we did not know...
1:19:24
...when we got to the train,
which consisted...

1:19:27
...of cattIe cars, where we were going.
1:19:32
We landed in Auschwitz
and the moment we landed there...

1:19:35
...we were commanded to leave
the trains...

1:19:39
...women with chiIdren to the Ieft
and men to the right.

1:19:42
That was the Iast time that I saw my wife,
my then wife, and chiId.

1:19:55
Lory Cahn and her family
were deported to Theresienstadt...

1:19:59
...the Czech ghetto the Nazis used
to deceive the world...

1:20:03
...about how humanely
they treated their prisoners.

1:20:05
ln time...
1:20:07
...the population of Theresienstadt
exceeded its capacity.

1:20:12
One day...
1:20:13
...they came into our barrack,
and my name was called...

1:20:17
...to report to the railroad station.
1:20:21
l went to the railroad station.
1:20:24
As they called your name,
you had to go and see this SS guy...

1:20:29
...and he crossed you off the list
and then you went into the car.

1:20:34
l got there and l repeated my name.
1:20:37
He said, "´You´re not going."´
1:20:40
I had no idea.
I didn´t dare ask why or what...

1:20:43
...but that was the end of it
and they sent me back.

1:20:47
And this went on for maybe two weeks.
1:20:52
l´d been at the railroad station,
l think, four times.

1:20:56
And l was a complete wreck.
