Auschwitz: Major Witness Flaw

[Red]

I haven't read her testimony but even if she was in that camp how is it relevant if she did spend time there? When he mother made that quote they probbaly didn't fully know where they were going to. She says they were told by Nazis that they were getting the train to tokaj to work in vinyards. She did arrive in birkenau though and all her family were immediately gassed in chamber 2.

Alright, one of the people in that article was younger than 15, but keep in mind Mengele occasionally took children one by one for his experiments.

Sorry for not seeing your link. It was hard to tell it apart from the rest of the text in your post, but at least you are trying.

Well, yeah. Hungarians were considerably rich during that time period, so people going on the trains had to be reassured that they'd be going somewhere to work. Remember, the nazis must have had some knowledge of the gas chamber rumors so they had to cover that up somehow. The people onboard, however, saw through te window that they were headed to Poland, as Irene also mentioned. In all honesty though, her mom probably knew where they were going, and that's why she told her daughter to fake her age, or s Irene says.

Hmmm... interesting. There actually was a forced labour camp in Tokaj, that held prisoners in Hungary. Perhaps Irene's mom didn't think that camp could hold so many people?
