We – I was very lucky, again there was a man that recognised me, that had stayed in our hotel and he said “Do you like to have a good job?” And I said, “Yes, he said “Would you like to be the head of the laundry?”I said “Yes”, I didn’t know anything about laundry, but I thought everything is better then – perhaps it looks good. So I worked in the laundry and I had to assort clothes and they were sent out.
Being in a camp was obviously horrific and terrifying, but this instance of a German soldier recognizing a Jewish woman from before the war and giving her an "easier" job helps remind me that these soldiers were human beings with empathy, even if they were complicit in crimes against humanity.
