Day 1\80A- Records from Buchenwald re Louis Fynaut and his incarceration at Auschwitz and Buchenwald...
My dad had mentioned that one of his biggest disappointments, after his experiences at, Auschwitz and Buchenwald were the naysayers and I am happy to say that I have managed to get documented proof of what happened to him as follows:
The logo at the top of the 1st sheet reads:
Stiftung Gedenkstatten
Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora
The gist of the correspondence is that most of the documentation can be obtained through the International Tracing Service.....
However, Buchenwald Archives, in Weimer, Germany, included 9 pages of records, in which is clearly stated that, the information is for personal family use only and cannot be published without consent.
The records include; an Identification card, a record of the clothes he possessed and a metal like tag and some other info.....
The first thing that hit me in the face was my dad's image staring out at me from the Haftlings-Personal Karte. The identification photo is very clear and highly defined so is very, very striking.
I was also particularly aware of the word, STUDENT which shot out at me from one of his record pages.
As usual, to see my dad's face so starkly, sent a wave of emotion over me and made me realize, yet again, how important it is to lead my life, in a good and decent manner as he did!
Off the point just a little now...........the other day someone said to me, "It is unusual for someone, she meant me, to have such a strong spiritual connection with a person who is not alive." I don't think that is unusual at all!!!!?????Am I missing something.........
Lastly, a while back, a troll, sent me some messages unsigned and basically called my dad a liar and said he was a coward and was likely never in the camps, the correspondence was left unsigned.......
The following data was included on the first pages of the letter received yesterday and nearly duplicates, to a tee, the chronology of my dad's descriptions of his work assignments and incidents that happened during and after these assignments at Buchenwald.....
Inquiry on
Louis Fynaut
......was transferred from Auschwitz concentration camp to Buchenwald on March 14, 1944 (date on arrival). Upon arrival in Buchenwald he was assigned the prisoner number 53152 and was housed in block 57, later he was moved to block 42. During his incarceration he had to work in the following work units:
