Auschwitz survivors recount tales of horror during pope's visit


Fellow survivor Alojzy Fros, who turns 100 this year, said the memories of death were seared into his mind. With her petite figure and halo of white hair, Helena Dunicz Niwinska, at 101, was the eldest survivor to meet Francis. Wiktoria, who was seven months' pregnant at the time, had started giving birth before she was executed, the Vatican said. "Through an open door I saw naked bodies piled up like logs about a metre high," he told AFP. Some were visibly moved by their return to the site, now a museum and memorial, in the company of the pontiff.
