An extremely emaciated Jewish survivor of a death march in an American field hospital in Volary, Czechoslovakia. The girl, who is 18, was forced to march 18 miles a day for 30 days on one bowl of soup a day. The 5th Infantry Division of the US 3rd Army found 150 in the same condition when they entered Volary. The girl has been identified as Fela Szeps, who died the day after this photo was taken. Many survivors were too weak to digest food and could not be saved and in spite of all efforts, many died. Half of the prisoners discovered alive in Auschwitz died within a few days of being freed.
