'No tears left': Mengele victim returns to Auschwitz

[Host] At 91 years old,

Alina Dabrowska is still consumed

by the horror of
what happened to her, here.

It is why she has brought
her granddaughter, Eva,

for the first time.

It is why she wanted
to talk to us about her memories.

And it is why, for 50 years,
she could never set foot in this place.

[Mrs. Dabrowska] Once,
I tried to come here,

with my children,
and I couldn't move.

I seemed paralyzed.

[Host] In these buildings,
Alina was a victim

of the cruel experiments
carried out by this man,

Nazi 'doctor' Josef Mengele,

known as "The Angel of Death."

For the first time, Alina is shown
some of the tools used by Mengele

for his cruel experiments:

Sterilizations, crude transplants,

and here, even the typhus
she was injected with

as a 'guinea pig,' to test medicines.

I had hallucinations.

I got a very high fever.

Never in my life,
earlier and afterward,

had I known
such a high fever.

- You thought you were going to die?

Yes.

[Host] At nearby Block 10,

where many of the experiments
took place,

she could not bring herself
to cross the threshold.

[Mrs. Dabrowska] I am very glad
that we are here,

not going further.

[Host] And who can blame her?

This remains an eerie,
sickening place,

of dark corridors,
and rooms with dreadful secrets.

In one, a dissection table.

What grotesque atrocities
were carried out

by doctors, here, in the name
of 'medical research?'

[Mrs. Dabrowska] I don't think
they are normal men.

I can't find...a proper English word
for beast..."bestia." So...

[Host] Beast.
[Mrs. D] Beast.

[Host] Before she left,
she shows me a mark on her arm.

It is her prison number: 44165.

Fading, but with her for life.

Just like the memories of a place

she wants her granddaughter,
and the world,

never to forget.
