Description
This is the account of the case surrounding 'Ernst Muller' who insisted he was a survivor of several concentration camps including Auschwitz. He had a number tattooed on his forearm, but doubts arose about his story because the number is identical with a documented survivor of Auschwitz. In the end he was recognised as a bona fide survivor, receiving compensation from the German government.
