ePub Collecting the Confederacy: Artifacts and Antiques from the War Between the States by Shannon Pritchard in History

Description

I was only seventeen years old when the knock on the door came late one night. The French police barged in; arresting me and my father as members of the French Resistance. After months of incarceration in French prisons; two thousand inmates were jammed into twenty rail cars. Our destination was Buchenwald; the most horrific camp in Nazi Germany; where we were viewed by our SS keepers as expendable sub-humans and forced to work as slave laborers. I was beaten and starved. I witnessed brutal tortures and senseless murders. But I survived.
