CHICAGO - Nazi-Era Rail Car for Display

CHICAGO, Illinois - When Fritzie Fritzshall was 12, she and her family were
deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp from a Jewish ghetto in
what was then Czechoslovakia. Her grandfather did not survive the journey.
On Wednesday, the 67th anniversary of Germany's infamous Kristallnacht
pogrom, she and other Holocaust survivors gathered to unveil the remnants of a
Nazi-era rail car that will be displayed when the Illinois Holocaust Museum and
Education Center opens in suburban Skokie in 2008.
"It may be this many years later but the smell and the fear that was in that
box car, that has not left me, and I'm sure many survivors feel the same
way," Fritzshall said.
