Auschwitz Survivor: Being Alive Is The Best 'Revenge'

[Behind the Aegis]

TEL AVIV, Israel — Shortly after the Nazi invasion of what was then Hungary in May 1944, Renee Ganz's family and most of the 25,000 Jews in the city of Oradea were forced into cattle cars and transported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

Men and boys were placed in one line, while women and girls were led to another when they arrived at the camp in Oświęcim, Poland. Ganz was just 15 at the time.

"I asked a German soldier why we were being separated and he said, 'You've had a long journey. You need to take a shower,'" Ganz, now 86, recalls. "That's when the selection began."

German officers took one look at the prisoners and decided who would live and who would die.

2. Evil really does exist in this world. That horror for which there really are no words, should never

be forgotten. And the minute there are any signs of it being repeated, towards any people, the world should stop it before it gets to the point where it cannot be stopped.

We watched Schindler's List tonight. Just watching it is harrowing. It is impossible to imagine what going through that hell on earth was like.

Sadly man's inhumanity to man continues and it can and will happen again unless we find a way to change the world to the point where monsters do not get into positions of power, and if they do, that we of all people, never in any way, support them.

Marvelous film about a survivor of the Holocaust in WWII.
