He recalls his family's orthodoxy; antisemitic harassment; having to work after his bar mitzvah to help support his family; studying before and after work; German invasion; being rounded-up with other men and tortured for three days; his release when his family paid a ransom; his father visiting another town (he never saw him again); ghettoization; his mother's death from starvation; assignment of Mordecai Rumkowski's and David Gertler's adopted children to his work detail; deportation to Auschwitz in August 1944; transfer with his brother to Friedland a week later; slave labor in an airplane factory; praying with others on Yom Kippur; liberation in May 1945; traveling to Prague then Budapest; assistance from the Red Cross and Joint; planning his emigration to Palestine with Beriḥah; living in Bari and Rome, Italy; deciding to join his cousins in the United States; and sharing his experiences with his daughter. Mr. B. discusses nightmares; hostility toward Germans; difficulty believing what he lived through; and the impossibility of really conveying his experiences.
