Here we have a little teaser but of course it's the usual affair of look I am old but I survived and it must never happen again. Plus every now and again someone is wheeled out and claims their own special and unique Dr Mengele story.
Today was just such a day where this 96 year old chap not only claimed he survived the 'extermination camp' of Auschwitz, but was actually met off the train by Dr Mengele. You really couldn't make this up. Odd that no one could see the elephant in the room, which is he has enjoyed a very long and hopefully happy and productive life despite being in an 'extermination camp' He also said how he never saw any of his family again. Utter nonsense of course.
He went on;Ahead of the landmark anniversary concentration camp inmate Yisrael, 96, told a reception how he was just 14 when he was sent to the extermination camp to be met at "the gates of hell" by “Angel of Death” and SS commander Dr Josef Mengele.
Annual big nose day will continue for a week or so."Mengele asked me, 'How old are you?' I understood a bit of German, and said, 'I'm 14, it was just my birthday'. And he said, 'That's very good, very good' and he sent me to the right side.
"I didn't know it at that time, but what he meant was, 'Very good, you can stay temporarily alive’.
"I didn't realise when my parents and brother were separated from me that I'd never see them again.”
