My grandmother was a prisoner at Dachau from 1939 until 1945. She told us stories about train cars that were packed so tightly people would eventually die, but there was no room for them to fall, so there were numerous standing corpses packed amongst the prisoners. When they stopped, the prisoners were hosed down with strong fire hoses that were extremely painful. The gas showers were a regular threat, and you never knew if you would get gas or water after the doors were closed. The Germans performed all sorts of inhumane medical and dental experiments on prisoners. They were testing to see what methods of torture would be most painful and effective. There was this one dental torture that my grandmother said was the most painful thing she ever experienced. It was far worse than any beatings, broken bones, whips dipped in broken glass and vinegar or lye, branding, etc. The dental torture was unimaginable.

The holocoust affected my family a lot. One person from my family, just outsmarted them and survived. They heard about Jews needing to register, and they simply didnt. One day, his wife was being dragged out by Nazi's, he yelled "SHES NOT A JEW!!!, SHES NOW A JEW!!!", and once they got to the police station, they saw they wernt registered as a Jew. On the other hand, 40 of my family members where hidining in a large apartment compplex. One day, Nazi's came in. We never saw them again, we think the superintendant of the apartment told on them.

My grand-grandfather survived Auschwitz. He was very skilled tailor, so he was tailoring clothes for Nazi's. He even had a little bit more food than his co-prisoners, because someone from the Kitchen helped him, but he didn't like to talk about it. We all know that his skills in tailoring saved his life. And we also know that there were almost no dead during the road because from our town it was only 3 hours of ride to Auschwitz . He died in 2003. He had a tattoo on his hand. After this, he gave up his Jewish faith and he was known as an atheist who doesn't believe any governemnt or regime after the war. He was one of those who openly criticised communism as well. Everyone admired his skill and everyone bought clothes from him because he was the only person with electrical sewing machine in our region. He built it himself and we still have it.😊
