The Family Camp
We spent the next six months in the Familienlager, the Family Camp. To my surprise, inside the camp we found Mother and all the other women who had come with us from Terezin, as well as a group of people who had been transported from Terezin three months earlier. By this point, there were probably four thousand people in the camp. It consisted of two rows of about thirty long, wooden barracks. There was a road between the two rows. There was mud everywhere.
