Me: “todays topic is about Auschwitz”
Me:“Auschwitz first prisonersarrivedonSeptember 1st
1939 and it liberated
January 17th
1945.”
Facts about the Auschwitz:
Me: “we’re now going to say some facts about Auschwitz, Charlie if you
would like to start us off”
Charlie: “The number of deaths in Auschwitz was larger than the British
and American deaths during the 2nd
world war combined. It is estimated
that around 1.1 million people died at the concentration camps in
Auschwitz.”
Kal: “The first Polish political prisoners arrived in Auschwitz in May 1940,
and that was the main reason for why it was built,but it quickly expanded
and became an extermination camp to fit the ideology of Hitler and his
“final solution”.
Mo: “Reports state that some 22 000 Romani and 150 000 Polish people
were killed and also disabled peoplewere killed as well in addition to the
Jews. 15,000 Soviet war prisoners and 400 Jehovah’s witnesses are said to
been killed as well.”
Me: “On 27 January in 1945, about 7000 prisoners were liberated from
Auschwitz’s concentration camps.Most of them have since died from old

age or from problems caused by starvation, but there are still many
survivors that were children or younger adults.”
Survivor stories
Me: “next we have a story from a survivor of Auschwitz”
Toby Biber
Mo: Toby Biber was born in 1925 to an Orthodox Jewish family in Mielec,
Poland. Following German occupation in September 1939, the Jewish
population of Mielec was subjected to increased antisemitism, persecution and
violence.
Me: Mielec’s Jewish community was deported in March 1942 and its residents
were forced into a nearby forest. From there, they were moved to a small
town where Toby’s father obtained forged papers for Toby and her sister,
allowing them to escape. They lived in hiding until arriving in Krakow in
southern Poland.
Charlie: In the autumn of 1942, several thousand inhabitants of the Krakow
ghetto, including Toby and her sister, were moved to the Plaszow forced-
labour camp. They remained there until the summer of 1943, when they were
deported to Auschwitz and then to Bergen-Belsen in 1944. Toby’s sister died
eight days after Belsen’s liberation in April 1945.
Kal: After the war, Belsen was used as a displaced persons camp and Toby
remained there until 1947. She met and married her husband at the camp and
they immigrated to Britain in 1947.
End
Me: “the remembrance date for Auschwitz is the 17th
January but you
don’t have to only remember them on this specific date, you can
remember them everyday.”
