the prisoners in auschwitz that i didn't know incidentally, that was auschwitz. the man who opened up our boxcar door did comment quickly to say tell the young people if they are 16 years old, they worked in a factory. he unlocked the car and went on. that was the comment i remember. as we got off, we were told the board the train. one of my uncles had collapsed. he was a new man. he was very sick, he was just sitting there. i'm not sure whether he died that day or not. but we had to leave him. on the loudspeaker there were announcing to say men should go here, women with children under 16 years old go someplace else. i remember getting my brother saying go with mommy, see you later. we were lining up to go through the selection process. that was what was going on. >> you didn't know what was going to happen. adler: i have no idea. i thought, i remember i had to everyone thought we were going to go through get search. we were told to leave all belongings on the train. they told us you will get it later, just leave it there. separate men and women and small kids t

there were a lot of people being sent to auschwitz. i think then we knew things were going bad for the war. not bombings but we had to stop working there was no , electricity. they were going crazy, being vicious. everybody there was incredibly bad. they made us stand outside for hours. they made us stand outside for hours in appell. if a piece of bread flew over the fence, everybody was beaten to say who got it. nobody gave away the culprit. we all knew who it was. what has troubled me so much, i have heard some of the accounts that say how cruel people were or they stepped on each other. they make it sound like it was a snake pit. i don't know what happened in other camps. this is why i have always used my maiden name on everything i have written. i would say that people behaved in the most incredible manner imaginable, by and large. i think this should be something that cannot be emphasized enough. it was in greenberg that ilse once found a raspberry in the gutter on the way to the factory. she carried it in her pocket all day long

there were a lot of people being sent to auschwitz. and then we knew that things were going bad with the war because there were not bombings but we had sirens were blowing every so often and we had to stop working, there was no electricity, and we were going crazy, being vicious. everybody there was incredibly bad. the men would stand outside for hours on a pail you know, and if a piece of bread flew over the fence everybody was beaten to say who got it. i'm proud to say about our people that nobody gave away the culprit. we all knew who it was. and i think that this -- you know, what has troubled me so much that i have read some of the accounts that people say how cruel people were, how they stepped on each other or they make it sound like it was like a snake pit. look, i don't know what happened in other camps and this is why i have always used my nadmaiden name on everything i had written and said. i would say people behaved in the most incredible manner imaginable by and large and i think that this should be something that cannot b

cenote was sent auschwitz. -- nobody was sent to house which. -- auschwitz.e were not that hungry, we got some food because she was decent. we worked in a factory long hours. i think that was the very best thing. it was so exhausting. at the end of the day, you had to concentrate so much. your mind couldn't absorb it great. she was quite generous, nor member exactly how often you are permitted. who could you write to? i was fortunate that i had my father's address where my father was allegedly working. i wrote to my father. i did not hear, of course i wrote to him and he started sending me letters as well as packages, which again through the type of person that mrs. keeler was, [indiscernible] i wrote to my father and i waited here for my father. and one day, the most incredible thing happened. she called my name and i saw a letter and i jumped to get it. and then i realized it was a letter which i had written to my father, and on it instead without forwarding address. i think that we needed to go into that. -- neednt go into that. i lost my speech for a day

[yelling] reporter: how do you feel how the holocaust has been depicted on film of until now? >> depiction films have been telling the story of survival. the history of the camps was not about survival, it was about death. i did not want to make any exceptions but at the same time, this story of the man is an exception. it is about the little boy when there is no more hope. reporter

so auschwitz and hiroshima are defining events of the 20 century., we can look toward expressions, anti-nuclear expressions, confrontations of the holocaust and weapons of any kind. that we mount as sources of hope and as commitments that we continue to make. that has to do -- that is what i mean by being a witness. when i did my research, on say auschwitz and hiroshima, i was looking to be accurate and what i found psychologically. i also saw that research as a form of witness. a witness is someone who opens himself or herself to experience, takes it in, and retells the story. tells the tale. gives it a new narrative. that is what i saw myself as doing with hiroshima and with auschwitz and with other events of the 20th century. also, to the vietnam war and the vietnam -- the antiwar veterans who admirably found meaning in the meaninglessness of their war. so witness and research become combined. the other thing i would say about it is -- amy: what you mean they found meaning in the meaninglessness of war? >> every soldier who fights a war, and for

he was 63 at the time when he arrived in auschwitz. he was immediately gassed as he was declared too old for useful work. my uncle was taken to barracks number seven at auschwitz where he worked in a brick factory for two months before being transferred to a barracks, number 20, which was the barracks where all of these experiments were done on young jewish men. he died officially on october the 9 1942, of typhus, but it was very possible that he was injected with fee knoll directly into his heart as many young jewish men were executed in that way. helmut was 21 years old at the time. we then returned to this country. i began setting down the events in what became "alex's way," and then returned for the epilogue of the journey to oldenburg where a plaque was fixed to the side of my grandfather's house. it reads in german "here the jewish businessman alex goldsmith and his son helmut, lived." "they lived here between 1919-1932." "alex and hell muth were murdered in auschwitz his daughter and wife were murdered in -- [inaudible] that was

as we found out through a tracing bureau after the war they were in fact, deported to auschwitz along with all the thousands and thousands who were there. this also -- this time was the time when i was inducted in the army, so that it all happened together. i recently found a notice from the state department that reached us in november of 1942, a time when i was already in the army, that said that they were now pleased to let us know that our parents had gotten clearance. this was three months after they had been deported to auschwitz but at any rate, i was inducted in the army. to me, it was a great relief and also, perhaps a source of pride that i was able to finally do something about this. we had been literally paralyzed for years at the whim of whatever authorities were in charge. now i was finally able to fight this big evil. i was in the army and actually never finished basic training before they found out that i had a language capability. in those days, of course, they were looking for german-speaking personnel and german-speaking personnel that no doubt they could trust, so t

worse than when we went to our switch -- to auschwitz. the dachau trip was the worst i have ever experienced. for instance, you could not even sit down. once you set, similar like an auschwitz, except it was a little more. even if we did not have food and water, at least it was more room that we could move a little bit better. but here, there was no way. the worst was that if you try to move then bickering among prisoners themselves because they were shoving and pushing and hitting with the elbows on prisoners. what happened as the american flyers came low enough because they wanted to see the ss train and took cover under it, and they start shooting at the fighter pilot. they shot back. the americans shot back. the bullets would go through the top of the cattle car unfortunately hitting quite a few of the prisoners. after we arrived to dachau i knew if something did not happen soon, i would not survive. i could hardly walk, let alone do the chores or the work that i was required to do. for a second, i'd like to go back to my childhood. w

particularly totalitarianism and the terrible inhumanities it has caused in our time -- the great purge, auschwitzand dachau, the gulag, and cambodia. historians looking back at our time will note the consistent restraint and peaceful intentions of the west. they will note that it was the democracies who refused to use the threat of their nuclear monopoly in the 1940's and early 1950's for territorial or imperial gain. had that nuclear monopoly been in the hands of the communist world, the map of europe -- indeed, the world -- would look very different today. and certainly they will note it was not the democracies that invaded afghanistan or supressed polish solidarity or used chemical and toxin warfare in afghanistan and southeast asia. if history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly. we see around us today the marks of our terrible dilemma -- predictions of doomsday, antinuclear demonstrations, an arms race in which the west must, for its own protection, be an unwilling participant. at the same time we see totalitarian forces in the world who seek s
