annex by Lin Herz:

Levi Schwarz did not die at a concentration camp. His great grandson told me he died on the way to a concentration camp. He said Levi did not want to go on living and somehow he died on the train. This is what his great grandson told me: A man who was on the train to Sobibor told Levi's son that after WW11 that Levi sat down in the corner of the train car, and turned his life off, like turning off the power of a battery (or light switch). When the train got to Sobibor, Levi had already been dead for at least 3 days.
