The Dentist of Auschwitz
Archival Summary & Scope
In 1941, Berek Jakubowicz (Benjamin Jacobs) was deported from his Polish village, surviving as a prisoner of the Reich until war's end. His rudimentary dental skills proved crucial to his survival. Jacobs was forced to assemble V1 and V2 rockets in Buchenwald and Dora-Mittelbau, spent eighteen months in Auschwitz removing gold teeth from corpses, and endured the RAF attack on prison ships in the Bay of Lubeck.Archival Categorization Notes
