Henri Borlant is a survivor of Auschwitz. He tells France 24 about the living conditions in the camp:

"In the morning, we had in a bowl a hot drink, that is to say an infusion. The Poles called it irbata or chai, we called that tea. I don't know what it was. And then at Noon, we had soup at the workplace. So we stopped at noon. We brought soup in barrels. We were given soup. When we were lucky, we had the bottom of the barrel. When we were unlucky, we had the upper hand and at that time it was more like a fleet. "

"What I can't forget"

Sarah Montard also experienced the hell of Auschwitz. She testifies to France 24 of the forced labor from which she suffered:

"In September, there was plowing and we were the ones pulling the plow. We weren't doing so straight furrows and for that, I remember, we were beaten, obviously. We were the ones who really did everything. Real man's work, it was very, very hard.

We started in columns of 500. We practically walked three days and three nights. Leave without anything. Men and women were shot dead at the end of the column, as they could not walk. And what I especially remember and cannot forget are the men and women on the side of the road who were dead. They had been killed, either by a bullet to the head by an SS, or because they had to walk barefoot for hours and fell as if in prayer, their legs frozen. "
