Auschwitz stories: A Good Job

Auschwitz stories: A Good Job by ric gustafson


It was possible to have a skill that was favored by the SS. Those with these special skills had a better chance of surviving. It was possible for an inmate with a medical degree to find work in the sick bay. It was possible for an architect to become a draftsman in the Central Construction Office. It was possible for a seamstress to repair SS uniforms. These were inside jobs and were wanted in the harsh winter.
Bronislaw Czech was a woodworker. The SS appreciated his carpentry skills. He survived until 1944 when he died from typhus. Primo Levi worked in a lab at IG Farben. He survived. Prisoner 93626 Louis Bannet became a member of the camp orchestra. He survived the war.
