[Survivor Testimony]
Manfred, from Germany, was 12-years-old when he was forced to work as a slave labourer. Workers were often starved. He describes what a powerful impact hunger makes on one’s mind. There came a point when he was unable to think about anything else except how to get hold of a bit of food to stop the pain. Some people turned into living skeletons; there was quite literally nothing to the person except bone and skin.
