The men came to trust each other implicitly and decided to try to escape together .      With the help of the camp underground, at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 7, 1944 the two men climbed inside a hollowed-out hiding place in a wood pile that was being stored to build the "Mexico" section for the new arrivals. It was outside Birkenau's barbed-wire inner perimeter, but inside an external perimeter the Nazi guards kept erected during the day. (http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/revolt/vrba.html)

Later, having been intercepted by frontier guards, he was first sent to the Novaky transition camp in Slovakia, where  he tried to escape, but was recaptured by a policeman on a bicycle who had become suspicious of the young man who was wearing two pairs of socks. http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/revolt/vrba.html) ]]> 2018-12-07 16:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/perryda/b4mx8nlwcs9e/wish/312301385 perryda https://padlet.com/perryda/b4mx8nlwcs9e/wish/312302672 2018-12-07 16:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/perryda/b4mx8nlwcs9e/wish/312302672 Rudolph’s life in the holocaust perryda https://padlet.com/perryda/b4mx8nlwcs9e/wish/312304476 On June 14th, 1942, he was deported first to Majdanek where he met with his brother "Sammy" who would later be murdered there.

This horrific labour almost took his life, however his luck changed when a Viennese prisoner, trusted by the SS, discovered he could speak German and transferred him to a store-room, named Canada, where the clothing and belongings of the dead were sorted.
