Kurzbach
Horak and her mother were sent to Kurzbach, a small German village with only a few, small, low-built houses and a newly-built straw barn. Kurzbach was cold, and she was given only a paper bag and a grey blanket to keep warm during the cold of winter.
Horak recalls: "Everyday I prayed that help would come, either from heaven or from the Allies". During one roll call, just after Christmas 1944, the prisoners were ordered to form columns, five abreast, and to start marching. It would be a long time before they stopped.
