Reppshouldhavediedthatday,but insteadofforcingtheprisonersintothe gas chambers, the Germans took them to another camp, this one with a factory where they were instructed to build missiles.

Repp recalls that conditions in the camps were horrible. Rations consisted of two cups of colored water with one slice of bread for breakfast, and a bowl of soup with no substance for lunch and dinner. This “food”, however paltry, wasn’t guaranteed.

The prisoners slept on wood with no mattress, pillow or even a blanket. They wore dirty clothes, and lice were everywhere.

“Peopleweredyingrightandleft,” Repp says.

Several years passed until the day the prisoners had long awaited finally came.

“We were lined up beside a 24-hour crematorium,” Repp says. “The third morning, a young man in an American Army uniform came in and started hollering, ‘You’re free! You’re free!’ But we couldn’t understand his language.”

When Red Cross trucks arrived at the camp, Repp recognized the symbol and realized that freedom was finally within reach. The trucks carried Repp and the other prisoners from the camp to a hospital.

Repp was 21 years old and weighed 69 pounds. He had spent six years under the control of the Nazis.

When Repp recounts this tragic story to students visiting the Holocaust museum, they are riveted by his experience. Repp says these students share his story with theirparents,whoshareitwiththeir friends, so many people are able to learn from his experience.

Beyondthemuseum,Reppregularly speaks at schools, colleges and military bases, each event scheduled by his companion, Sarah Yarrin, who always accompanies him.

“Working for Dallas Holocaust Museum is very gratifying, and I feel that Holocaust should not be forgotten,” Yarrin says. “By Jack telling his story to younger generations, they will be aware of intolerance to people.”

“Freedom is priceless.” Repp says, “What happenedtomeandothersshouldn’t happen again.”
