Two typewritten depositions of Jewish Holocaust survivors, who were arrested by the German Police in Dresden for theft. Dresden, Germany, April 1946. German.
The depositions of Aron Auerbach and Moniek Breitbart which were given on April 11, 1946, presumably at the courthouse of Dresden, after the two were arrested by the German police for theft of property and money. In the depositions, the two deny any connection to the stolen property that was found near them and claim that they had come to Dresden to look for their relatives in the various DP camps near the city.
In their depositions, Auerbach and Breitbart, both Bendsburg-born, recount their ordeals from the end of the war to their arrest – the liberation of the Buchenwald and Dachau camps by the American Army, their hospitalization and their wandering between the various DP camps after the war.
