Opinion: Untranslated letters shed light on sole Jew to survive Sachsenhausen

In an opinion piece for The Times of Israel, Nina L. Kampler writes that her father was the only Jew to survive the entire war at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and that newly discovered untranslated letters reveal untold details of his story.

The opinion piece, published Thursday, details the author's discovery of letters her father wrote during the Holocaust that were never translated. Kampler's father, a Holocaust survivor, was the only Jew to have lived through the entire war at the Sachsenhausen camp, a fact she argues should not have been the case given his circumstances. The article is available on The Times of Israel website.
