Anita Lasker-Wallfisch Quotes
Auschwitz was one of the wealthiest places in the world. Everyone who was deported there had been in such a hurry that they were only able to take along the things they loved the most.

All these things were kept in a part of the camp the prisoners called "Canada." It was like a giant warehouse.
