Description
To mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, AFP met with survivors around the world.
Pedro Buchwald, 87, was born in Varazdin, Croatia (formerly Yugoslavia) on May 17, 1937. He and his parents were deported to the Gospic concentration camp in 1941.
Buchwald recalls, "Throughout this two-year period of war, I remember living with hunger, crying from hunger, and becoming desperate to eat."
After he and his family fled to Italy in 1943, they traveled to Spain and later sailed to Argentina.
Buchwald has a daughter, a son, three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
