Reception at 3 p.m.

Marcel Nadjary was a Greek Jewish member of the Sonderkommando, a squad of prisoners who worked in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. Nadjary was one of the Sonderkommando men who wrote accounts of their experiences and buried them in the ashes. Many of these accounts, known as the “Scrolls of Auschwitz,” were never found or were so damaged by water and time they were practically illegible. Now a historian and an IT expert have restored 90% of the legibility of Nadjary’s text.
