Above: Major Gray and Captain Maundy at the Main
Gate at the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp. The
young boy at the right is Jack Terry, age 15. He
is the young Jewish lad described in Chaplain
Thompson's "A Personal Memory".
Jack Terry was a prisoner in the camp and had been
saved several times by Carl Schrade, a Swiss
National, above. The final occasion was when all
the able prisoners were ordered to evacuate the
camp in marches to Dachau. Out of 15,000 who
started on the marches, about 4,000 died. Schrade
saved Jack by hiding him in the typhus ward of the
hospital. In 1995 Jack Terry is a psychiatrist in
Manhattan, New York.

During the celebration of the 50th anniversary of
the liberation of Flossenbürg Concentration Camp,
a group of survivors and their families stayed at
the Goldener Löwe Hotel in Floss. Each evening they ate together and had good discussions and
fellowship. Above: left to right; Jack Terry,
