They Marched Us Three Nights

Dr Abraham Wajnryb tells how he and four friends escaped in the last days of the war, after being evacuated from the concentration camp in Schomberg, in southwest Germany. Wajnryb relates his experiences of the Holocaust in a series of flashbacks that he had during the prisoners’ night marches from Schomberg towards Bodensee. It was on the third night of marching that the men escaped. Originally published in Hebrew in 1984, by Beit Lohamei Hagethaot, Israel, They Marched Us Three Nights was then translated into English by the author and edited with the help of Patty Rizzo. It was first published in English in Melbourne in 1988 by The Jewish Holocaust Centre.
