The bullet came out of my mouth

Shimon Srebnik (1930 - 2006) former Chelmno sonderkommando

According to Claude Lanzman's 1985 documentary Shoah, Shimon Srebnik was one

of just two survivors of Nazi Death Camp Chelmno. Srebnik (then aged just 13).

was forced by the Nazis to partake in the execution of 400,000 Jews in gas vans.

Srebnik states the Nazis kept him alive due to his ability to win

jumping contests, speed races, and his beautiful singing voice.

Srebnik testified at the 1961 Eichmann trial, here he gives details

on how he survived being shot in the back of the neck at

point-blank-range, when the bullet came out of his mouth.
