Eichman Prosecutor Recalls Witness Who Survived Auschwitz Gas Chambers
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - A key witness in the trial of Adolf Eichmann was someone who was a child when he was sent to the gas chambers but escaped death, said Gabriel Bach, former Supreme Court justice, chief investigator and co-prosecutor of the 1961 Eichmann trial. Speaking Wednesday in Jerusalem, he said the witness described entering "the gas chamber with the doors then locked" on him and 250 other children. The witness said "a train had arrived with potatoes and there were not enough men to unload" them, so "they took 30 children out of the gas chambers and they unloaded the potatoes" while the other children were gassed to death. The 30 "surviving" children were due to be shot immediately after finishing moving the potatoes. 29 were shot, but an SS man took a liking to one boy and kept him as his ward. "He was the only one who survived," and gave first-hand testimony of the mass murder of Jews from within the gas chambers.
