Danek, a Polish Jew, witnessed the cruelty
of the Nazis Anti-Semitic policy first hand.
Aged just 13 when the Nazis invaded his native
Poland, he suddenly found himself at risk
of his life. |
|
Whilst
others like him were rounded up and sent to concentration
camps, he owes his survival to `a miracle`; being
delivered from the clutches of the Nazis at the last
possible moment. But his good fortune did not extend
to the rest of his family, none of whom he would
ever see again.
At 15 he found himself transported to Germany
and into a forced labour camp.
When the camp was liberated, he joined
the Royal Tank Regiment where he remained until
1953.
He said; “It is important that these events
are kept alive in people's minds, as even now there
are some who are simply unaware of what was really happening
in Europe during the war, which is very sad.”
Danek now lives in Verwood near Bournmeouth, Dorset.
On the evening of the 27th January, Danek will be sharing
his experiences with the public, explaining how he survived
and remembering those who did not.
