The forced laborers were herded towards the western border of the country (Gant, Bodajk, Mor, Fertorakos, Szombathely), and later transferred by the Hungarian gendarmes to the German Todt organization, which took them to Deutsch-Schutzen, Austria. Subsequently they had to go on foot to Mauthausen, and finally they were liberated in Gunskirchen, Austria on May 4, 1945. Using flash-back technique Lazarovits remembers his childhood in Szilagysomlyo (Romania), school years in the Kolozsvar (Cluj) (Romania) tarbut (Hebrew-language school), his membership in Hashomer Hatzair, and leftist political organizations. After his liberation, in August 1945, Erno Lazarovits returned to Kolozsvar (Cluj).".
