While many people were murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Stojkas were not<\/span> sent to death upon arrival<\/span>. Tragically, Mongo\u2019s youngest brother Ossi caught typhoid fever and died during this time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

From Auschwitz-Birkenau, the women of the family were sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck<\/span><\/a> and then Bergen-Belsen concentration camps<\/a><\/span>. Mongo and Karl, however, were sent elsewhere.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In August or September 1944, the brothers were deported from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Buchenwald Concentration Camp<\/a><\/span>. Thousands of Roma people were sent to Buchenwald (as well as Ravensbr\u00fcck) for forced labour, and it\u2019s thought this was why Mongo and Karl were taken there. During his incarceration in Buchenwald, Mongo wrote a poetry book – dates he recorded in the book suggest this took place between 1944 and 1945.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
