In her book “The Testimony” (Hardie Grant 2012), Helena Wagorska (Strnad) says on p.54: “The latrine was an open hole in the ground outside with slippery edges, making its use fraught with the danger of falling in….Earlier arrivals to Stutthof called it ‘the bottom of hell.’” Before she died in 2022, Halina said to me “it’s terrible what Israel is doing to the Palestinians” and would be shocked to hear that 90 years afterwards Israel is repeating the Holocaust. She was a delightful person with Humanist and social justice values, loved by many in Melbourne where she came in 1948. She was still testifying in 2020 by Zoom to the Hamburg trial of one of the Stutthof guards, despite bullets thrown in her Box Hill driveway and threats by phone. Look her up or read this great book about a memorable human being.
Thank you for keeping the lights on in dark moments. Your courage is bright.
