Willy Lermer - Holocaust Survivor Testimony

Willy was born in Krakow, Poland in 1923.
After the war started, he was forced into unpaid labour by the Nazis.

When the Jews were forced into a ghetto, Willy's family moved to Myslenice where his grandmother lived. By 1942 Willy was sent to work in a nearby labour camp. Soon after, the rest of his family was murdered in Belzec extermination camp.

Willy was sent to other camps where he worked hard and was brutalised by the guards, before arriving in Auschwitz. From there he endured further torture and when he was finally liberated he was barely alive, 180cm tall but weighing only 38 kgs.
