At their head were survivor-rabbis who sought to accomplish this by invoking their dual identity: survivors of the Holocaust who were also rabbis committed to revitalizing the Torah world. The rabbis of the time wished to solve the problem. They were ‘agunim and ‘agunot, men and women whose spouses had disappeared during the lengthy years of the war without leaving witnesses who could confirm their demise. Soon, however, it transpired that a conspicuous group among the survivors, composed mainly of women, that their resumption of religious life might render them unable to establish families, or at any rate, to do so quickly. Rabbis, foremost those who themselves were survivors, supported the survivors’ wish to set up new families and encouraged believers who gathered around them to marry under Jewish law. Many also sought to establish new families in their desire to cling to life, treat their loneliness, and establish a remembrance for those who had perished. Accordingly, large numbers of survivors chose to search for remaining kin and relatives in other countries in an attempt to reconstitute the family life that had once been theirs.

Brief History of Mauthausen-Gusen Complex.Preface from the President of the International Mauthausen Committee (+).Targum Press, Southfield Michigan, 1988). (Rabbi RAV YECHEZKEL HARFENES (when back to Auschwitz) in ” BeKaf HaKela” (Slingshot of Hell), It was unknown simply because very few of the tens of thousand of prisoners sent there remained alive to tell the story of its horrors.” This was not because it was smaller than the others – it might even have been the largest. The proof of this might be that Guzen was one of the least known camps. Compared to Guzen, however, one might almost say that those camps were paradises. This is not to say that the conditions at the other camps were not dreadful.
“As a resident of many camps, I can say that Guzen was the worst.
