Interview with Kurt Thomas (Brno 11 April 1914).
Description
Thomas was taken to Sobibor via the ghetto of Theresienstadt. In the sorting barracks he had to sort clothes and belongings of victims who had been gassed.
As an orderly he later managed to save the lives of several prisoners by letting them rest longer than allowed. When he had climbed across the fence during the uprising he refused to hurry: "I don't have to run anymore, I am a free man". Born Kurt Ticho, he attended grammar school in his hometown.
