I worked for a farmer as a teenager who was a polish catholic. He was in dachau was tatooed and would not talk about it. Even as an idiot teenager he had my complete respect.
I have (had) two relatives with camp number tattoos. They were married. The man was a very successful doctor in New Orleans later in life. They only ever showed me the tattoos once and it maybe they most haunting thing I’ve ever seen.
Holocaust denial will become more and more common as the witnesses die out.
A wonderful book and story that touches on a Holocaust story without just drowning you in depression - if anyone is interested - is “By the Grace of the Game.” It basically tells the story of NBA great Ernie Grunfeld. There is just an incredible story in the book of Buddy Hackett agreeing to smuggle US dollars out of Romania for Ernie’s parents. When the parents eventually emigrated to the US, the money was waited for them.
