An Auschwitz Survivor - Freddie Knoller

Eighty Five year old Freddie recounts his life under the Nazis starting as a 12 yr old child.

Life Was Swell Until The Nazis Showed Up

Freddie was born in Vienna on April 17, 1921, into what he describes as a "loving family". His book-keeper father provided a solid, middle-class upbringing for his three sons. It was, Freddie says, "a wonderful childhood".

Germany Annexes Austria

But a month before Freddie's 17th birthday, this childhood came to an abrupt end. In March 1938, Germany annexed Austria and enforced stringent anti-semitic laws.

Freddie Hide Out In Belgium

Freddie was sent to a refugee camp in Belgium by his parents, who told him they would find him "soon".

Freddie Goes To Paris

After two happy years at the camp, Freddie ran away to France to avoid the advancing Nazis. Here, despite the J' (for Jew) on his passport, he was sent to a war camp for enemies of the allies in St Cyprian, on the border between France and Spain, before escaping when the Germans arrived two months later. It was now August 1940.

Freddie fled to the south coast of France and then to occupied Paris, where he gained false identity papers and began a new life as a Frenchman called Robert Metzmer.

He Is Now A Hustler For Nazis

For a year, he earned a living introducing German soldiers to the red-light district in Montmartre, before an order from the Gestapo to work for them as a translator compelled him to break away and join the French Resistance.

Freddie Becomes A Partisan

When the Gestapo orders him to work for them as a translator, he breaks away and join the French Resistance.

Now He Is Off To Auschwitz

A few weeks later, Freddie found himself on a train to Auschwitz - a journey he will never forget.

"It was terrible. For three days we had no food," he says. "We had one bucket for sanitary purposes.

He Is Tattooed

When they arrived, the men were sent to Auschwitz III, or Buna-Monowitz. Women and children were taken away in trucks and never seen again.

After having his hair shaved off and a number - 157103 - tattooed onto his arm, Freddie was finally given food: a bowl of soup.

Saw Thousands Of Jews Kill Themselves

Many inmates couldn't take it, electrocuting themselves on the wire fence. But such despair never occurred to Freddie, who "had a different outlook and took things as they came".

The Auschwitz Death March

A glimmer of hope that the end of their ordeal was near was October 1944, when Russian artillery fire was heard in the east. But for many, hope came too soon. Half of the surviving prisoners died in a freezing 15-mile hike from Auschwitz to Gleiwitz in January 1945: the infamous death march.

He Saw Jews Eating Each Other

"There was no food left," he says. "I saw people cutting out flesh from bodies and roasting it behind the barracks. There were dead people everywhere."

Where Is The Harm?

Picture this fleabag telling you 7 yr old daughter's grade school class these fairy tales? Stories of dogs eating Jews, defecating in buckets in boxcars, Nazis throwing toddlers into ovens alive, etc. Picture your daughter's face as this clown tells about roasting Jews over a spit for a barbeque.

Should Schools Allow These Survivors To Talk To Kids?

| Yes - And pay them too
|
| No - Arrest the school principal for allowing this
