history: Ludwig Wörl (1906-1967) was a German Anti-Nazi resistance fighter and survivor of concentration camps Dachau, Flossenbürg and Auschwitz. Holding several positions in the camps’ prisoner functionary system he helped to save numerous Jewish inmates. After the war Wörl campaigned for the German committee of Auschwitz survivors, and took stand as witness in the Auschwitz trial in Frankfurt am Main.
