‘One by one we watched innocent men being hanged’: Incredible story of Jewish holocaust survivors – NZ Herald

Incredible story of Jewish holocaust survivors who were saved from the Stutthof camp. 

The Holocaust survivors who met Kate and William returned to the Nazi death camp they were liberated from for the first time today and described the horror of seeing innocent people murdered ‘one by one’ in front of them.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge walked through the so-called death gates to the Stutthof concentration camp with Zigi Shipper and Manfred Goldberg, both 87, who were imprisoned there aged 14.

The lifelong friends have returned to the Nazi extermination camp for the first time since 1945 and were among 110,000 prisoners from 28 countries held there.

The friends were liberated in May 1945 by British tanks surrounding the barge on which they were about to be loaded – it was to be towed out to sea and then blown up with Jews packed into it.
