Bruno Frister
Born on December 26, 1926 in Radom, Poland. Died 2023.
When the war broke my family – mamma, papa and my sister Stefania, ran away from Radom to Lublin but ended up in the Radom Ghetto. I was taken as force labor in an ammunition factory and later in a railroad factory in Pstrowiec. From September 1944 until January 1945 I was in Auschwitz as force labor in a rubber factory. In January 1945 we took the march from Auschwitz to Gleiwitz and then were taken by train to Dora Nordhausen. From March to April 15, 1945 I was in Bergen-Belsen where we were liberated.
My father was arrested in November 1940 as he was trying to get us documents that would allow us to leave Poland. He died in Motokow-prison in Warsaw. My Mother was murdered in Treblinka in 1942. Stefania miraculously survived and came to Sweden from Bergen-Belsen. Then she was very ill. I met her once in Bergen-Belsen after the liberation and applied to come to Sweden to be close to her. My application was granted in 1946.
