History

During World War II, a forced labor camp staffed by Hungarian Arrow Cross guards forced Jewish men from northern Transylvania located in Hungarian-occupied Romania, was located in Siegendorf. Nearly all of the inmates were executed by the Hungarian guards as the Soviet liberation forces were approaching when the guards pretended to want to march the Jewish inmates to an unknown location. Very few prisoners survived. Almost none of them documented their experience at this camp except one former inmate who incorrectly claims to be the "sole" survivor. Bear in mind, many survivors were not articulate and did not care to memorialize this experience in writing. But they have passed their experience along via their children and/or grandchildren. The Jewish slaves at the Siegendorf Camp were enslaved in a local gold mine.

gollark: I can just ignore them and the worst they can do is... ignore osmarks.tk more in search results.
gollark: None of these are actually the case, as far as I can tell.
gollark: Google randomly sent me an email complaining about "Mobile Usability issues" on osmarks.tk.
gollark: Isn't /dev/random the secure one and /dev/urandom the insecure one?
gollark: In theory, the entropy pool thing it uses is such that you shouldn't be able to REDUCE its randomness by feeding in data. Without having access to its internal state or something.
