This year is the 60th anniversary for the end of WW2 and the Jewish holocaust.
I attended the annual ceramony in my university, and this year a survivor from a Hungarian jewish family came to tell us his story. He was about 14 when the Nazi death machine harvested millions of jews, gypsies and other political prisoners.
I cant find the proper words in order to tell you of what I heard this time (as I heard many of those stories.. from my grandparents and from others), but I can tell you one tiny bit of this person's story: "On the way to the labor camp, near the border with slovakia, at the age of 14 I gave up on this life. I laid my head on the rails and waited for the train (the one who led jews and other prisoners to birkenau, the death camp) to role over and end my misery. Suddenel I heared some prisoners calling people to load the dead on a cart they dragged. I didnt think twice. I sneaked to their path, laid beside their road and soon I was throwned throwed to the cart. I dont remember what happened. I must have fainted of fell asleep and then fainted, I woke up in a sovjet hospitol, the war was over"
