Joe Kubryk - Joe encounters Nazi death camps
Transcript: Yeah, sometimes at night I wake up and I'm upset because you remind yourself of the hardships that you went through and then after I escaped and I ran in with a Russian army that came to occupy Czechoslovakia, Poland and they came to the ff, foreh, front lines of Auschwitz, and we were a couple of kilometers away from the camps, and they were afraid to go on because they thought that the camps are very strongly fortified, the German military men and the equipment. So, they sent us in again to find out what's going on, and when I came in front of that camp 200 feet, 300 feet away from the main gate and saw those piles of corpse laying one on top of the other, naked, and skin, only you see is skin and bones by the hundreds, maybe by the thousands -- yeah, I shouldn't/sure don't exaggerate this, and that stays with you and that will stay with me for the rest of my life. This is a scenery that I don't wish upon nobody, ever to see it in even in a movie. It's very hard to talk about it.
