His grandfather was driving a train in Ausvit. My family was killed there

It doesn’t matter how much you get ready for it. Still surprise you. As the grandson of the woman killed in Osvens, I meet the granddaughter of a man who dragged Jews to death. I have lost for words.

My grandfather, who survived the Holocaust, or I was unable to meet with his mother Rachel. In 1944, they took the cattle carriage and took Ausvits to the Death Camp. At that time, he left the Ludwig mother of about 15 years and sent to another prison camp. However, Rachel was tortured, gas was given and killed.

I have grew up in many stories about them and have spent time with other people who survived the Holocaust in my family in Australia. When they interviewed the European elections in Germany, they were on the beginning of my opinion.

The grandfather of Cornelia was a major guarantor of a family with a very small income. He first worked as a coal miner, but two days were under coal and decided to do another job after a deadly accident. Finally, Deutsche Reichsbahn went back to work as a train driver as a train driver. The mother of Cornelia is proud of this success and said that this work is “a lifetime.”

At first he carried the cargo for the efforts of war. But soon turned into something worse. “I believe that my grandfather was a train driver between the walks of death. He remained in Leegnitz, in the current Leqnitsian, and therefore there was a separation between the family and death camps.”

Cornelia says the grandfather did not know how it would happen when it started first. “I think my grandfather saw very terrible things and did not know how to get out of this work and how it would happen.

After studying as a family therapist, he examined his past and tried to understand it better. He tells me that he began to ask: “What point was the criminal? He was an assistant of the criminals? When could he leave?”

In this case, my mouth dries. My heart beats. Listening to all this feels like an outside experience. I just drove on my grandfather’s osventurs and how my grandfather and Great Grandma went there. All other relatives killed in Osvens – I think I know, but I think my cousin I did not know about.
