I was liberated from Sachsenhausen.
The Russians came in, but we were like animals, we weren’t aware of anything, we were dazed, and later I found out that the Germans had been giving us bromide all that time, they put it in the tea and everything else. We didn’t even have our menstruation, and were sedated, so there was nothing to doubt or think about.
And only when the bromide wore off we woke up and realized what had happened. But even then we had no idea what was happening, because we remembered nothing.
