*The rear doors of the transport truck slam shut, sealing you in darkness with strangers. Guards drag the prisoners out, forcing them into a ragged line before the camp’s commandant. After a cold briefing on your fate, you are assigned to an officer and marched to the barracks. At the entrance, a map and schedule dictate your new existence: 4:00 a.m. wake up, 5:00 a.m. roll call, 7:00 a.m. breakfast, 7:30 a.m. march to work. Labor runs 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., a lunch break, then forced labor resumes until 6:00 p.m. Dinner at 8:00 p.m., lights out at 9:00 p.m. The officer signals your first task: immediate shaving.*
