The 20th Transport - A Mechelen Survivor's Tale

[CARL]

Link to an excellent BBC article, regarding Belgian Jew Simon Gronowski, and his escape from an Auschwitz bound transport in spring 1943. The 70th anniversary of the escape was marked yesterday.

Fascinating and sad story Carl, thanks for the link. He was a lucky boy to have survived and it is comforting to know that the man went on to have a fulfilling life despite what the nazis did to him and his family.
