Berlin, Germany - January 24, 2025 Albrecht Weinberg, a survivor of Auschwitz and about to turn 100 years old, has spent the last 80 years reliving every day the concentration camp where he became the number 116,927, although, during the last decade, he has found in the story of his testimony to German schoolchildren a reason to continue to avoid death. Camera: CLARA PALMA SOUNDBITES OF ALBRECHT WEINBERG, AUSCHWITZ SURVIVOR. 00:01'' - 00:44'' At that time I was so full of hatred for what they had done to us. Imagine uncles, aunts, uncles, cousins, cousins, father and mother killed because they believed in a god. I was also brought up in a religious home, based on the Jewish faith, but when you were in Auschwitz you wondered where God was. There was no Catholic God there, there was no Protestant God there, there was no Jewish God there... otherwise Auschwitz would not have existed". 01:11'' - 01:24'' 2.- "One hundred and sixteen thousand... You can hardly believe it... One hundred and sixteen thousand, nine hundred and twenty-seven". 01:24'' - 01:48'' I was never a criminal, but I was a prisoner there. And I was no longer Albrecht Weinberg, just a number. I was prisoner one hundred and sixteen thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven. That was my prisoner number, that was my name. And there I worked for two years in this factory". 02:01'' - 02:32'' Personally, I thought that my suffering would finally end because I was sure that they wouldn't let us go free so that the world could see what had happened. But it turned out to be the British. And you can imagine what they found at Bergen-Belsen. Bergen-Belsen was a cemetery where all the decomposing bodies were lying on the ground.
