I went to the butchers the other day and the butcher said: 'I bet you £5 you can't guess the weight of that meat on the top shelf.' 'I'm not gambling,' I said. 'The steaks are too high.' IGMC

IMO the concentration camp in many ways was many levels darker than an extermination camp. Your fate was over in hours if you ended up in Auschwitz, however in Sachsenhausen the detail of daily torture was almost too much to bare, even for me and I consider myself someone of a strong mind.
