Can anyone survive 7 concentration camps?

[Dan]

Read the book Night by Elie Wiesel, and then ask this question.


Ok, since i posted this RIGHT after the person above me, I didn't know they suggested a book too. But read both books then.

7 yes, but that is the limit. The 8th one they make sure you die!

Concentration camps were not anything like Nazi Torture camps, they just housed many Japanese people in a close space to prevent spies.

I suggest you read the book "Man’s Search for Meaning" by Dr. Viktor Frankl. He survived multiple concentration and labor camps, up until the allied invasion finally reached their region and they were released. His book also has experiences of others who were transferred throughout many different camps.

No one here can legitimize your father’s story. But there are many people who were transferred to many different work and concentration camps.

Absolutely. I don't see why your dad would lie to you for one, and second he could have most definitely survived seven concentration camps. I'm not sure what kind of concentration camp your talking about, Korean, Vietnamese or Japanese. Either way it's not like they killed everyone who went into them. He could have easily just been moved from camp to camp and then eventually rescued.

There were people who survived the Nazi death camps, which were built for the sole purpose of killing the inmates. Concentration camps and labor camps were atrocious, but the chance of survival was certainly better than that in the six death camps.

As the Nazis was concentration camps as a pool of cheap labor, with production priorities constantly changing, it is possible for a person to be shifted to several camps until he was liberated.
