1. 0:10My name is Eva Schllo. Uh I wrote my
2. 0:14book Eva's story in 1986
3. 0:17to tell about my story of survival and
4. 0:21um what happened in the camp and even
5. 0:25afterwards in the liberation
6. 0:27um with the rush from the Russians.
7. 0:30My father I did see a couple of times
8. 0:34across the fence and things but my
9. 0:37brother never anymore.
10. 0:39What I haven't forget forgotten and
11. 0:41forgiven is that I lost my father and my
12. 0:44brother after the war when I came back I
13. 0:47wanted to talk about it but people
14. 0:49didn't didn't at that time did people
15. 0:51didn't want to hear because it was
16. 0:53horrible they saw images on news and um
17. 0:58I think there was a guilt feeling around
18. 1:01the world that they hadn't helped that
19. 1:03nothing had been done you know those
20. 1:06people who did all this no I don't want
21. 1:09to forgive them. Nobody nearly made it.
22. 1:11It was very very cold winter. You can't
23. 1:14minus 30°. We had no shoes. Sometimes we
24. 1:17had terrible frostbite on my feet. Open
25. 1:20wounds which got infected. So in a few
26. 1:23more days I would have lost my toes and
27. 1:27my leg. I would have got gang green. I
28. 1:30couldn't have made it. If the Russians
29. 1:31wouldn't have come then and there I
30. 1:33wouldn't have made it either. 4 months
31. 1:35we were all the time traveling. We lived
32. 1:38in cattle trucks. We lived like cattle
33. 1:41really. But the Russians looked after
34. 1:43us. They fed us. They closed us. And the
35. 1:46Frank family lived in an apartment here.
36. 1:49And we lived on this side. After school,
37. 1:52all the children came out here to play
38. 1:54because there were no gardens.
39. 1:57So, and we were both 11 when we met. And
40. 2:00that's how I met her playing there until
41. 2:02the last
