- Summary
- Memoirs of a Jew, born in 1926 in Berlin as Lutz Posener. After the "Kristallnacht" pogrom, he and his father left Berlin and crossed the border illegally into Belgium. In 1940 his father was interned by the Belgians, and later was transferred to the Gurs internment camp in France. Posner lived in Brussels and worked at various places; in June 1941 he was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to a labor camp near Boulogne-sur-Mer in France, which was operated by Organization Todt. He escaped from the camp only to be recaptured in Brussels by Belgian collaborators in April 1943, and was sent to Auschwitz, where he managed to survive until the liberation. After the war he settled in the USA. His father probably perished in Auschwitz; his mother was deported from Berlin to Riga, and also perished.
