On the occasion of the day of remembrance for the victims of National Socialism on January 27, 2022, a digital contemporary witness interview took place with Peter Johann Gardosch, who was imprisoned as a teenager in Kaufering, a subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp. The interview was moderated by Dr. Hammermann, director of the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, and broadcast on the concentration camp memorial's YouTube channel. Peter Gardosch was born on November 8, 1930 in Neumarkt am Miresch in Transylvania, Hungary, to a Jewish family. After the German invasion, the family was deported to Auschwitz in June 1944. Peter escaped selection because he wore a large coat and pretended to be three years older. His mother, sister, grandmother and grandfather were probably murdered in the gas chamber on the same day. He and his father stayed in Auschwitz for 19 days and both faced death due to the meager food rations. They therefore risked volunteering for a new work detail and were taken to “Kaufering III”, a subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp. The work in the Kaufering camps was grueling – for the armaments industry, bunkers had to be built, roads, anti-tank ditches, etc. Most of the prisoners (almost exclusively Jewish) only survived the torture for a few weeks. Gardosch was lucky again – an SS man chose the boy as his assistant because he spoke German. This protected him from the hard work and probably saved his life. When the camp was evacuated and Peter Gardosch had to go on the death march with his father, they both took advantage of a good opportunity and fled together with others. They were hidden in a monastery in Fürstenfeldbruck until liberation. After the war, Gardosch returned to Hungary and then emigrated to Israel in 1963. But he returned to Germany and became a management consultant. Petger Gardosch only began to talk about his experiences late in life and has since published two books: “Die Wiedergutmachung” (2011) and “Mit 13 durch die Hölle” (2019).
