Paul Sanders

$13.68

In April 1944, Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, two Slovak Jewish leaders who had escaped from Auschwitz, provided testimony about the mass extermination taking place at the camp. Their report reached Hungary around the time the deportations to Auschwitz began; however, it initially had little impact. In this study, Paul Sanders discusses how and when Hungarian Jewish leaders received the report, and why a campaign to stop the deportations only materialized several weeks later.

In 1942, aged thirteen, he was deported with his family to Theresienstadt.

Bacon survived death marches to Mauthausen and Gunskirchen before he was finally liberated, only to discover that his family had been murdered, aside from one sister who had left Czechoslovakia before the war. Upon his return to Czechoslovakia, Bacon lived in a provisionary youth  home run by the humanist Přemysl Pitter.
