Later Father was moved to Gross-Rosen [27], and then from Gross-Rosen they rushed them on foot to Bergen-Belsen [28], where there were burning pyres of corpses. My Father witnessed the following incident there: some Russian cut off a piece of human meat and started eating it. The Germans saw it and threw him onto that pyre, he was burned alive. And my father worked there [volunteered] on removing corpses, because he used to get an additional piece of bread for it. Those corpses usually had no ears, the ears were eaten by neighbors lying in the hospital, because they were the easiest to cut off.
