‘My brother had a nice singing voice, but I couldn’t sing. They injected us at the base of the neck with a certain substance that after the war we found out to be cancer cells.
The experiment was done time and time again. Mengele would sit on the side and take notes…
In 1948, I moved to Israel. I was one of the first soldiers in the IDF. I felt spiritually uplifted that I—a Jew and a survivor of Auschwitz could fight in a Jewish army.’

Ephraim Reichenberg, Holocaust survivor
