She survived SIX concentration camps.They say time heals all wounds—but not the ones left on the child prisoners of Hitler’s camps. They were starved, drained of blood, deliberately infected with typhus, tortured, and killed… “It was better to end up in hell than in a German concentration camp,” said Emilia Kopytok as she began her story.
* During World War II, Nazi Germany established concentration camps for mass extermination, forced labor, and the isolation of "undesirable" groups. Their main functions were:
Genocide – the extermination of Jews, Roma, political opponents, prisoners of war, and other groups (death camps like Auschwitz, Treblinka).
Forced labor – using prisoners for military and industrial work (e.g., Mauthausen, Buchenwald).
Repression and terror – suppressing resistance and dissent.
These camps became a symbol of the inhumanity of the Nazi regime and led to millions of deaths.
