First, I became acquainted with the Germans. They were not bad fellows, but they made me feel uncomfortable because they looked at me when I was within their sight. As a Belgian citizen, I had no right to be there, but the Allies wanted to liberate me and my family, so they put me in a British uniform and allowed me to march with them. The Americans put on some old German uniforms and let me go with them instead of into a POW camp. Finally, when we reached our destination of Auschwitz-Birkenau, there was a big celebration.
