1944
On 25 June, in a cattlecar with 96 prisoners, with no water, no food and no toilet, Sara is sent towards Auschwitz. The train to the death camp stops at the Polish border. Sara's train is not listed for destruction and is sent back. What perversion: a person has to appear in a list to be gassed. Sara arrives with her family at the camp in Strasshof, Austria.
A concentration camp is located in Stasshof during the period of National Socialism. 21,000 Hungarian Jews are deported there to forced labor. After their arrival in the camp Sara is forced to strip naked and be "disinfected".
Sara: „In Strasshof women were falling out of the traincars in the heat. Many had menstrual blood running down their legs. Pregnant women's heads were shaven. I was 11 years old and never had seen pregnant women naked. The pregnant women were then sent back to Auschwitz for a second time then. This time they were taken and destroyed.“
