Biography:
Kurt Thomas (Brno, 11 April 1914) was brought to Sobibor via the Theresienstadt ghetto. In the sorting barracks he was forced to select clothing and possessions formerly the property of victims of the gas chambers. Later, in his role caring for the sick, he was able to save the lives of several prisoners by giving them longer periods of bed rest than was allowed. When he climbed over the fence during the uprising, he didn't hurry: "I don't need to run anymore, I am a free man".
