I Survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald: Memoirs of a Belgian Survivor of Nazi Concentration Camps

by Louis Fynaut

Louis Fynaut, a Belgian youth who had moved to Nazi occupied France at the beginning of WW-II. Subsequently, he was suspected by the gestapo of taking part in the French resistance and considered dangerous. He was designated N.N. Nacht und Nebel, Night and Fog, a political prisoner to be secretly transported to a forced labor concentration camp. First he was carried to the infamous Auschwitz death camp in occupied Poland, where he miraculously survived transportation, mistreatment, overwork, undernourishment and illness. Obviously he was considered valuable for slave labor and several months later he was transferred to Buchenwald where again he amazingly survived until the end of the war. His memoirs are written the way he expressed himself in English, with embodiments of his Flemish language.
