  • I worked there for 12 months to complete compulsory military duty in 1986
  • I visited the site in 1995 with a number of Holocaust survivors who told about the prisoners who fell into the concrete. They were not pulled out but left to die in the wet cement. Their bodies lie entombed there to this very day.
