Fascinating post about our much missed friend and inspiration, Holocaust survivor John Chillag. He featured prominently in our 'Double Portraits' film and#6millionplusi#holocaustcentrenorthentrenorth#OnThisDay John Chillag was born, in Vienna, in 1927. John moved with his family to Győr, Hungary for safety in 1934, where he lived up until the German occupation in March 1944. He and his family were forced into the ghetto in Győr where, at the age of 17, he was the only one who could speak German so had to act as a translator for SS. In June 1944, those in the Ghetto were forced onto a train of cattle wagons, where each was filled with 80 people for a journey which would last 3 days. Upon arrival at Auschwitz, the only members of his family chosen to survive the initial selection were himself, his father and uncle. He was later taken to Brüllstasse camp where he was used as slave labour for the war, before then being moved to Buchenwald as the Nazis began losing the war. On 11th April 1945, he was liberated from Buchenwald camp by American soldiers and was eventually sent back to Győr via multiple train journeys. Due to the Soviet takeover of Hungary, John was forced to leave and in 1949 migrated to Australia, where he met his future wife and had 3 children together. He and his family then moved to England in 1962, where he took on a job as a specialist in German and Italian languages at the British Library in Boston Spa in Yorkshire. After his retirement in 1991 he began telling his story and it is estimated he spoke to over 20,000 schoolchildren and adult groups throughout the UK and Germany about his experience. Unfortunately, John passed away in March 2009, aged 81, and is sadly missed by everyone who knew him. This post was written by Jess, one of our Student Placements studying History at the University of Huddersfield. ... See MoreSee Less
