It was late at night that we arrived at Auschwitz. When we came
in, the minute the gates opened up, we heard screams, barking of
dogs, blows from...from those Kapos, those officials working for
them, over the head. And then we got out of the train. And
everything went so fast: left, right, right, left. Men separated
from women. Children torn from the arms of mothers. The elderly
chased like cattle. The sick, the disabled were handled like
packs of garbage. They were thrown in a side together with broken
suitcases, with boxes. My mother ran over to me and grabbed me by
the shoulders, and she told me "Liebele, I'm not going to see you
no more. Take care of your brother."
