Holocaust Survivor Recounts Nazi Torture and Survival

I needed that long nails, that size, and my little finger stick, and they melted in my head.

This was hurting like crazy. I was screaming, and I was going in a coma.

And then I finally came out, and there was that nail in there.

Nobody was helping, because they didn't like, all the Germans hated Jewish people.

I wanted the halo the Christian people have. I have learned from them to pray.

And the halo, they got a halo over their head when they were brought to slaughter.

For some reason, whenever they put me in the line, I never did get poisoned.

I mean, they poisoned me, but it didn't work.

Well, anyhow, one time they sterilized me.

But when I was 18 years old, I had my first child.

A sterilized person cannot have a baby.

The Nazis, they were fleeing, so they nailed us to the walls or hung us.

I was hanging like that at the wall, and there's a chain here that is made out of knives.

So when you move, you cut yourself. That's why I have that cut here on my chain.

See here? There were only maybe 9% of the people alive. I am one of them.
