David's family before Auschwitz

David’s family history is a heartbreaking narrative. David and the members of his family were immersed in their families’ daily lives, and then everything changed. David remembered his life in Transylvania, Romania. He was a teenager who remembers the tragedies of his childhood. David and his family were deported to Auschwitz. Many families in Transylvania lived their everyday lives until the Nazi regime came and turned their worlds upside down. Families were forced from their homes and sent to concentration camps. The geographical area that is Transylvania today is a blend of Romanian, Hungarian and Slavic cultures. Today, it belongs to Romania. However, it has a history of conquering nations and changing its borders frequently. The last change was in 1940, when the north was claimed by Hungary from Romania. The question of Transylvania's ownership was not disputed until the First World War. It wasn't until the Second World War, when the country was under Nazi occupation, that people were forced from their homes. Romania and Transylvania were a safe haven for Jews before the Nazi occupation. In the 1940s, Romania was allied with Germany, and its prime minister was a fascist. However, they were not as fully committed to the Nazi cause as the Germans, and they agreed to rid the nation of Jews. However, they enacted anti-Semitic laws and eventually passed the law of deportation. Which brought the lives of many Jewish Transylvanians to an end. There were 130,000 Jews in Transylvania. Most of them lived in Northern Transylvania, which was under Hungarian control. Many of the Jews were forced from their homes and sent to forced labor camps. The Jews had neither the money, nor the time to flee. David was the only member of his family to survive Auschwitz. As sad as this account is, it is important to note that David’s whole legacy is not defined by the memories of his family’s death. His survival was a victory over the Nazis—one that will forever be remembered by the Jewish people.

David’s parents

**David and his entire family were deported to Auschwitz. Why would they deport an entire family of Romanians to Nazi Germany, even when Romania was allied with the Nazis? The reason was that the Nazis hated Jews, even if they lived in another country. ** David’s parents were deported along with him. They might have remained in Auschwitz. Nazi guards were not friendly and an unhealthy environment was prevalent in the camp. The Nazis gave them a job—most likely in the fields, as farm laborers. Their children could not have been with them, because the Nazis separated them from the rest of the family. David's parents were separated from their children, and they were separated from each other. Many Jewish children were separated from their parents and sent to orphanages. However, many others were sent to concentration camps and killed. As David remembers his father and mother, he tells that he saw them for the last time on the train to Auschwitz and that he and his parent parted ways.

David’s siblings

David's family of nine—his parents and six siblings—were in no way prepared for the chaos that was about to be unleashed in their lives. His brothers and sisters were also sent to Auschwitz. As with David, there was no something by Hitler to kill Jewish family members. His siblings were not in any way prepared for the horror that was about to sweep through their lives. They were so peaceful and carefree as children, and then one day they saw their whole world fall apart. None of the siblings survived.

David's journey to surviving Auschwitz

David never forgets the day he was deported to Auschwitz. He remembered the terrifying moment when he and his family were separated. He remembered the horrific sigh of his sister when she was separated from his parents, brothers, and sisters. David was sent to the coal mines while his siblings and parents shared a different fate. **The coal mines were a dangerous place. Workers were forced to mine coal without proper training or equipment, and many were injured or killed in workplace accidents. **David was one of the lucky ones. He was a survivor. During the war, David was the only survivor. When the war ended, David felt alone and had nowhere to go. He was homeless. As the war ended, David struggled to find food, shelter, and even a job. The war ended, but his suffering continued. His family was gone. The Nazi party was raged. Auschwitz was the worst place in the world.

David’s out from Auschwitz

David’s journey of survival from Auschwitz was not an easy one. When they finally arrived at the camp, David and his family were separated. He doesn’t remember what happened to the rest of his family, but he remembers being sent to a coal mine to do forced labor. He was lucky to survive, as many others were killed in the mines. However, David was able to enter Auschwitz with the survivors. The outbreak of war had shattered his world. David was liberated from Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, when the Soviet Union released the prisoners in Auschwitz.
