\nWe arrived in Utting, there was absolutely nothing there. It was a forested area; we had to build our own camp. We had to build huts known as earth huts and the fence so that we didn’t run away. And then we also had to build a factory for the Dykerhoff Company, which produced concrete slabs.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

His was a traditional Jewish family but not very religious. In 1941, some 30,000 Jews in Kovno were summoned to relocate to the newly constructed Kauen ghetto. Living conditions were bad and when Naor’s older brother Chaim was caught trying to buy bread for the family outside the ghetto, Chaim together with 25 other young people were shot by the SS at Fort IX.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text]The Nazis evacuated parts of the ghetto on October 28, 1941. Seven relatives, including Naor’s grandfather, were selected and killed at Fort IX the very next day. Naor earned himself a bit of money at an illegal bakery in the ghetto. The first concerts were held at the ghetto in June 1942, and it was not longer before Naor was singing in them.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_single_image media=”86913″ caption=”yes” media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”90″ media_ratio=”four-three” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text]Abba Naor became a runner for the ghetto police in 1943. This provided him with valuable information about planned selections and he was able to warn several friends and family. Meanwhile, his father joined the Communist underground movement.<\/p>\n

The ghetto was transformed into a concentration camp on September 15, 1943. In March 1944, Naor saved his little brother from the SS “Kinderaktion”. The former ghetto was evacuated four months later. Naor and his family were transported to Danzig on cargo boats on a journey lasting eight days. From there, people had to march to Stutthof concentration camp; women and men were separated from one another. On July 26th, Naor’s mother and his five year old brother were deported to Auschwitz, where they were gassed.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes” border_color=”color-776133″]
\nThe day-to-day procedure at Utting was no different to anywhere else, the victimisation was prevalent. The roll call early in the morning and in the evening with victimisation, caps off and caps on, it was common practice in the camp.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\nHunger was prevalent, as were the lice. There were virtually no possibilities for keeping clean. We had to work hard, twelve hours per day with hardly any food. But we learned to organise, to adapt, especially in Utting.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
