The rest of the story, as headlined, at Daily Mail link above. The Mail - the most visited newspaper site online, which still enjoys running what amounts to a "Hitler: the human side" story every week or ten days, also in the '30s was the chief in-print promoter of the fascist Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirts, England's homegrown anti-Semitic terror brigade.---
At the urging of a man next to him as they waited in line to be processed, he lied and told the SS officer he was 17.
Any younger and he'd be deemed incapable of hard labor and, he was told, immediately killed.
'The same guy who told me to lie said to me, 'Do you see that smoke in the sky where the sun cannot get through? This is going to be your parents in about two hours,' he recalled. 'My parents and younger brother and younger sister ... that's the last time I saw them.'
