Rene Solt told Sky News Sunday with Trevor Phillips that the Nazis stopped counting people until they arrived in Bergen-Belsen as a teenager because people die so quickly.
Her late husband, Charles Solt, helped release the camp, and before the Holocaust Memory Day, she said, “We didn’t talk about it, we couldn’t.”
Da Salt, 95 -year -old, was born in Zduna ox, Poland, in 1929 and later lives in the ghetto created there.
In 1944, she was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau with her parents.
She and her mother were then transported to a warehouse in the Hamburg port, Germany, where she worked on the demolition.
The couple was sent to Bergen-Belsen in March 1945. They were separated during the trip, but were found again in the camp.
The British army released them on April 15, 1945, but her mother died in hospital 12 days later.
Describing her experience, she told Sky News: “There was nothing to eat, nothing to drink-the water was cut off when I reached Bergen-Belsen.
“The daily counting of people has stopped already because it made no sense to count anyone – for every thousand people, alive in the morning, in the afternoon there will be only 700 or 800 people counting more.
“There were no more calls with rollers, it wouldn’t be eaten at all, there was nothing – obviously the bread stopped delivering people two weeks before I got there.”
Mrs. Salt said she would not survive without her mother.
“We didn’t have the strength to talk anymore, but its very presence continued me,” she told the program.
“It was awful, we saw the corpses, it was so scary – you never know when the next minute would die.”
She continued to marry one of the soldiers who released Bergen-Belsen.
Her husband “couldn’t talk about Belsen, the tears were running on his face, he couldn’t talk about Belsen,” she said.
“We didn’t talk about it, we couldn’t.”
Asked why retelling testimonies like hers is important now, she said to the program: “Because we may prevent another holocaust from coming.”
Phillips asked her if the Holocaust was likely to happen again.
D -Ya Salt replied: “There is a great opportunity, we hope it will never happen again, we can only hope and pray that (it) has to calm down.”
The scale of the Holocaust can be forgotten if stories like its are not shared, she added.
D -Ja Salt praised the Holocaust of the Holocaust for the creation of young ambassadors to help convey testimony.
“People really forget, but I hope it won’t,” said G -Ja Salt.
