- Tomi Reichental, who lost 35 members of his family in the Holocaust, gives his account of being imprisoned as a child at Belsen. Tomi Reichental was nine-years old in October 1944 when he was rounded up by the Gestapo in a shop in Bratislava. Along with 12 other members of his family he was taken to a detention camp where the elusive Nazi War Criminal Alois Brunner had the power of life and death. Tomi, his mother Judith and his brother Miki, his granny Rosalia and two other relatives were dumped into a cattle wagon on a train bound for Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The others were sent to the slave labour camp at Buchenwald, where inmates were literally worked to death. It took seven days and nights for the train to arrive at Belsen as Allied bombing had disrupted rail links all across occupied Europe. All together, 35 members of the Reichental family - grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins - died in the Holocaust. For 55 years, Tomi didn't speak of his experiences "not because I didn't want to, but because I couldn't." Since breaking his silence he has been on a mission of remembrance. Tomi has lived in Dublin since 1959 and hardly a week goes by without him travelling up and down the country to talk to Leaving Cert. students about his wartime boyhood experiences.

- "The good things I recall quite fondly", says Mordechai Ciechanower, "but I don't forget the bad." And how indeed could he forget the murder of his mother and two sisters, taken from him in the camp which was later to become the symbol of the mass murder perpetrated by the National Socialists? He himself managed to survive the concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau by working in the roofer unit. Mordechai Ciechanower, who now lives with his family in Israel, comes from the small Polish town of Maków Mazowiecki. He has decided to share his memories as long as he can still breathe, thereby ultimately keeping the promise he gave to all those who did not survive. In Johannes Kuhn's documentary "The Roofer of Birkenau" the 89-year-old contemporary witness revisits all of the other concentration camps to which he was displaced after a year and a half in Auschwitz: Stutthof, Hailfingen-Tailfingen, Dautmergen and the infamous camp of Bergen-Belsen. On the site of the DP camp of Feldafing, a fond memory is at last awakened: The unexpected meeting with his father, who he presumed dead, a few weeks after being freed. At each of these stops, the committed protagonist of this story readily talks with the people there, in doing so showing that hate is a foreign concept to someone once so hated. Mordechai Ciechanower inspires with his vivid descriptions, his musicality and, despite everything he had to contend during his early years, with his optimism and inimitable sense of humor.
