My Mother in Rochlitz

A group of 180 Hungarian Jewish women were selected in Auschwitz and taken to Rochlitz, where they were taught to work as machinists in an airplane factory. My mother (above) and her two sisters were there and survived. From Rochlitz they were walked 400 km to the West (the guards were running from approaching the Red Army) and were liberated by the Americans. She said that the guards allowed them to beg food from the people.
