«Breaking News» More than half of Auschwitz survivors schoolmates killed by Nazis

A Holocaust survivor has shared a poignant photograph of himself with fellow pupils during World War II, as he revealed more than half were killed by the Nazis in just three years. 

A few years after the photo was taken in May 1942, at least 27 of the 45 pupils from the Jewish school in Prague were wiped out by Hitler's forces.

Many of the pupils were sent to concentration camps, killed in mass shootings or from starvation and disease. 

One of the survivors shared a photograph which showed pupils who had died labelled with a red sticker on the BBC 2 documentary 'The Last Survivors', which airs tomorrow night.  

A few years after the photo was taken in May 1942, at least 27 of the 45 pupils from the Jewish school in Prague had been killed by the Nazis

Many of the pupils were sent to concentration camps, killed in mass shooting or from starvation and disease.

Each child on the photograph was numbered by Frank Bright using German records to find out how many had died. 

Mr Bright, 91, who now lives in Suffolk, said: 'I call the photo "red for dead". It's pretty crude, but it's to the point.

'Since I had the means and the energy to do it, I thought I ought to bring them back into memory, otherwise, like all he rest, they would disappear into oblivion.

'It's a tragic photo. Not only did they die, but they obviously had no descendants, they never really had a life at all. They were all murdered for no particular reason.' 

Frank Field, 91, was taken to Auschwitz during World War II 

He said: 'It's tragic. Not only did they die, they had no descendants, they never really had a life at all.   

He added: 'No 1 is a boy called Pick Haus, he was sent to the ghetto in November 1942. He was sent on from the ghetto to Auschwitz, and he did not survive. And of his transport of 2,038 people, only 144 survived.'

Pointing to a girl on the photo, he recalled: 'She had ginger hair as far as I remember, Suzanna Jung. She was sent to Auschwitz in October 1944, did not survive.'

Remembering another girl on the photo, he said: 'A very pretty girl, Edita, I think I had a crush on her, but from a distance. She was sent to Auschwitz, did not survive.'

Those marked in blue managed to survive the Nazi's reign of terror

Mr Bright was taken to Auschwitz with his mother, two weeks after his father was also murdered. Just 16 at the time in 1944, his mother was sent to the gas chamber while he was used for slave labour. 

The BBC documentary spoke to other survivors of the Holocaust living in Britain, many of whom lost all or most of their families as the Nazis wiped out six million Jews during World War II.  

Susan Pollack spoke of her journey to death camps with her mother, where Jews were packed into trucks like cattle. 

She said: 'The trip was six to eight days. Many babies and children died along the way. There was no water to drink, that was in June 1944.

'I just huddled up to my mum. It will be over soon, just keep strong, keep hoping, it will get better - these are the words my mum repeatedly tried to reassure us with.

'None of us Jews who had been transported could realise what was awaiting.'   

She added: 'I remember arriving very clearly. When the doors opened up and suddenly we had some fresh air, so we were kind of relieved in a way, we had arrived somewhere.

'Then the terror and the aggression hit us immediately, and the shouting, 'get out!', the Germans were waiting.

'There was a Hungarian-speaking victim warning us, quietly, 'don’t say you’re younger than 15 years old', and I just nodded, not understanding why.

'That was what saved me from being sent to the gas chamber on arrival.”

Ms Pollack also remembered the loving exchange she had with her mother before she was sent to her death.  

She said: 'My mother who was worn, fatigued, anguished, she looked much older than her age, she was selected.

'There were no parting words, there was just a hug, and "I love you".' 

Zigi Shipper, another survivor, said: 'Every morning the train stopped and they used to throw out dead bodies.

'How can a child of 14 hope people should die so he’ll have more room to sit down. What has become of me?

'Eventually one early morning the train stopped through the slits of the truck I saw the word 'Auschwitz'. I didn’t have a clue what it meant.' 

The Last Survivors will be shown on BBC 2 at 9pm tomorrow

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
