Nothing was as hard to bear as selections. Lack of food, water or air were not as important to me as not being selected for the crematoriums. Not even the severe work details were as hard to take as knowing a selection was going to take place. My drive or will to live was not to be selected. My heart would start beating very quickly. I was scared that this would be the end of me. When I was not selected, I was relieved that I was allowed to live until the next time.
