US Army veteran Kurt Klein recalls the first time he met survivor Gerda Weismann, later to become his wife, in the shack in Volary
On 20 January 1945, approximately 1000 female Jewish prisoners were evacuated from the Schlesiersee (today Sława) camp in Upper Silesia, western Poland, a region annexed to Germany. These women were forced on a death march in a southwesterly direction. On the way, the prisoners passed through other camps, and more women were added to the march.
On 5 May 1945, after covering a distance of over 800 km, the march ended in the town of Volary (German: Wallern) in Czechoslovakia, not far from the border with Germany and Austria.
Of the approximately 1,300 women who marched to Volary, some 350 survived. .
