NI PARDON – NI OUBLI
1942 Pendant plusieurs jours, 2 000 hommes, femmes et enfants sont déportés du camp de concentration de Theresienstadt (Pologne). Les hommes en état de travailler sont sélectionnés pour des travaux de bâtiment. Les vieillards, les femmes et les enfants sont internés dans le ghetto de Komarov (Pologne) avant d'être déportés au camp d'extermination de Chelmno, où ils seront assassinés. Seuls 24 de ces 2 000 déportés survivent encore en 1945.
1943 A Auschwitz, un télégramme SS donne pour instruction que 120 femmes soient destinées à des expériences.
1944 11 830 juifs de la ville de Kosice (Tchécoslovaquie) sont rassemblés et installés dans un quartier comprenant onze rues. Par la suite, ce quartier se verra réduit à trois rues seulement. A la fin, les juifs devront vivre dans une briqueterie et dans les quatre prés qui la bordent.

On March 15, 1939, German occupation forces entered Prague.
1940-44: In 1941 Peter was sent to the Theresienstadt ghetto. Since he had experience working with animals, he was assigned to tend the SS' horses. In June 1942 Peter's family was sent to Theresienstadt, where his mother soon fell ill. Peter tried to smuggle sugar, used for the horses, to his mother, but was caught.
