Young Czech woman, Auschwitz-Birkenau
We were put in front of the main gate of Auschwitz with the famous ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ (work brings freedom) and in front of that the orchestra was playing the very well-known music of Strauss – all the SS were there watching us. We were standing there for quite a long time listening to the music, and suddenly humanity came back to us listening to the music which we knew from normal days of life. And we all started to cry, not because we thought we were going to the gas chambers, but the emotion of listening to normal music. I shall never forget that feeling: it wasn’t the fear of going to death – that was something expected – it was rather the last moment of . . . oh, there used to be a life before all this! This music brought it back to us.
