This interview is about Clemens Paul Feige. He was born in 1893 in Altreichenau, Waldenburg district (Silesia), Germany. On June 20 1938, at the age of 45, Clemens was deported as part of the “Aktion Arbeitsscheu Reich” (Operation Work-Shy Reich), brought to Sachsenhausen, and became prisoner number 3162. He died at Sachsenhausen in December 1939.

Visitors to Sachsenhausen can visit a memorial stone dedicated to Clemens by his family. It is the first memorial ever dedicated to a prisoner from within the so-called “Asocial” prisoner group and can be found in the memorial garden at Sachsenhausen.

In this interview, Jakob and Kelsey speak with Clemens’ great-grandson, Hilger Voss.
