"We were coming up to the fence where many of them were waiting. Standing there, some half naked, others with clothes, gaunt, just amazing. We were stunned. And we saw the bodies lying there -- some in piles, some elsewhere.  Some I had taken for dead, and then saw that they were actually alive still. As we approached this fence where many were standing, one of them spotted a lighter I had exposed in one of my pockets. He asked me in German if I had a cigarette. I thought to myself, if I gave him a cigarette, I’ll have a riot on my hands. There’s no way, I can hand him one, so I told him as best I could that I had none. He walked away and I didn’t know if he was just disappointed or desperate. But he returned moments later with a cigarette stub that he had obviously kept for some time.  Then he slipped his hand through the fence and passed it to me and whispered, 'Thank you.'"
