A biography of a British survivor of the notorious concentration camp..... Drancy! .. In the mid-1930s at 14 years of age, having just left school, my father applied for a job at sea in order to fulfill a childhood dream to 'see the world'. Having lied to his employer, the Harrison Line Ltd., telling them that he was 16, they offered him work on the Cargo steamer Davisian. Little did he know that his dream was going to be cut short by WWII with an experience beyond his wildest imagination which started with the sinking of the cargo ship he had been working on. Penned in the German Prisoner of War Camp, Milag Nord, and the Concentration Camp, Drancy during WWII, this true account makes for compulsive reading for anyone interested in true stories, biographies, the holocaust and World War 2. Drancy is listed as a Concentration Camp in the Holocaust Museums in Tel-Aviv, Israel, and Montreal, Canada as well as other locations around the world. In addition, in late 2001, I received an invitation to go to California to view additional proof that Drancy was a concentration camp, that proof was a memorial stone in the grounds of the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco (see photo at the end of the book), California, USA. Further to that, the German government acknowledged Drancy was a Concentration Camp, others referred to it as a death camp because of the atrocities, brutality, rape and murders of men, women, and children. Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, only representatives of the British government tribunal at that time denied Drancy was a concentration camp. In their own words, quote, "Our definition of Concentration camp differs from that of Israel and Germany", unquote. Finally, in 1993, David Alton MP represented my father and other survivors of Drancy to claim their share of the compensation the German government had paid out for the non-combatant Merchant seamen and Drancy internees, compensation that neither my father or his crewmates ever got because of a decision made by British Government tribunal at the time. Where did the compensation money go? Well, we know where the money didn't go, to the ones the German government gave it for, the survivors of the notorious death camp..... Drancy!
