The following excerpt comes from the book, History Firsthand: The Holocaust: Death Camps, edited by Tamara L. Roleff

"We were chased and driven on in our grim work by SS guards who had a drink in one hand and a truncheon or pistol in the other. Trembling from terror and agitation, thirsty, with shaking legs, half-crazy from pain and fear, we had to complete our work with the most gruesome images before our eyes. Even now I am horrified by the memory of SS men grabbing small children by the feet and killing them by smashing them against tree trunks, often before the eyes of their sobbing and wailing mothers."
