Content Note: Transcript of an audio recording. Grooen was born in Belgium in 1925 and raised in Holland. After the Germans occupied Holland, he and some other teenagers published an anti-German underground newspaper. Beginning in 1940, he worked with the underground in Amsterdam and Utrecht. In 1944, he was arrested and deported to Westerbork, and two months later sent to Auschwitz. At the camp, a doctor used him in medical experiments. When the Russian Army approached Auschwitz, he went to Mauthausen briefly and was then sent to Ebensee, where he remained until it was liberated. Location of interview: Atlanta, Georgia.
