Slave Labor in Concentration Camps in Nazi, Germany, Camps

"I want to bow to my father, Andriy Andriyovych Yushchenko, for the lessons he taught me. He was a teacher in the small village of Khoruzhivka, in Sumy Region. He also was a prisoner in Auschwitz, Dachau and Buchenwald. My father's truth has led me through life to the high honour of becoming the leader of my country," from inauguration speech of Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, January 23, 2005.

"My father never met a guard he would forgive. They were brutal men who beat him and killed his friends for no reason. One sub-zero winter night, these guards ran roll calls over and over. Hundreds of prisoners in pajama thin clothes stood outside in the cold and snow. By morning, about a hundred prisoners were dead," by John Guzlowski. "When my father was dying in a hospice, there were times when he was sure that the doctors and the nurses were the guards who beat him when he was a prisoner in the concentration camp. There were also times when he couldn’t recognize me. He looked at me and was frightened, as if I were one of the guards." For more, see http://lightning-and-ashes.blogspot.com/

The museum is open to visitors for history and a guided tour of the castle. It's best to phone the castle administration before coming. In this way one best can learn, why every schoolchild in England knows about Colditz castle.

Cyprus

A well-known Jewish camp on Cyprus. The exodus of Jews from Europe to the Promised Land was thwarted by Great Britain, which blockaded the shores of Palestine to prevent thousands of Jews from entering the ountry. In August 1946 Great Britain's foreign minister, Ernest Bevin, ordered that boats of migrants be intercepted and escorted to the island of Cyprus, where the "illegal" Jews were placed in internment camps. The American-Jewish Joint Distribution Committee was allowed to enter the camps and provide residents with aid and relief. From Displaced Persons Camp Money by Frank Passic and Steven A. Feller.

British authorities approved the use of internal money as payment to residents who worked within the camps.
