The SS officer was standing in his parlor when he got home from school. He said: “Go out to the backyard and get on the truck.” He went out to the truck; his brother and their friends were already loaded on it. They drove them to the railroad station; it was crowded with everyone from the neighborhood. He saw his mother and father in line with other adults waiting to get in the boxcars. He went to get a drink of water; when he came back, his mother and father were gone. He was never to see them again.
