Abstract:
Memoirs of a Jew born as Jakob Schloss in 1924 in Gelsenkirchen. Scott and his mother joined his father in Belgium in 1938. In May 1940, after the occupation of Belgium by Germany, they fled to France. Scott was arrested on suspicion of espionage, but released after two months. His mother was interned in Gurs and later released, and his father was imprisoned in a labor camp in Haute Savoie; both were deported in 1942 to Auschwitz and murdered there. Scott was hidden by peasants in southern France. In 1943 he fled to Spain and North Africa, where he joined the British army in 1944; after the war he emigrated to England.
