The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in present-day Poland:
Around 1.1 million people were murdered here during the Nazi era.
Daniel Hanoch is a Holocaust survivor.
In an interview, the 86-year-old talks about his time in the Nazi extermination camp.
“I mean, what happened in Auschwitz is indescribable. It was hard. We went to the trains, there people tried to jump over the barbed wire and got killed. But that’s the point, you could always be killed even if you didn’t do anything.”
A time that shapes Daniel Hanoch – but in a different way than one would expect.
“It doesn’t affect me, I don’t have nightmares and I don’t scream. Nothing can upset you after Auschwitz.”
“It was like an academy, a study and I think it was a good school. I sometimes wonder how I could live without Auschwitz. It has had a major impact on my life, it showed me the right way not to leave anything out and to do it do what I want to do.”
Nevertheless, the 86-year-old faces the future with negative feelings.
“I don’t think too much because I don’t trust civilization. Civilization is in for a catastrophe. People are ruining the world and that’s it. There’s not much you can do about it.”
