DRANCY - Journey's End: If only walls could speak

By Raymond Roscoe

TRUE STORY

A Film Treatment is available to legitimate film production companies.

This is the second edition with newly discovered and updated material based on historical evidence and additional eyewitness accounts. In addition, there are hand-drawn illustrations along with both old and recent photographs.

Drancy - Journey's End ' - over 76,000 words, is based on the true account of Thomas Roscoe from his 'Wartime Log' which he wrote during his captivity as a British teenage civilian.

This true story of a 14-year-old British boy from Liverpool who lied about his age using his older brother's birth certificate, to fulfil his childhood dream, of seeing the world. The account covers from the day he joined a passenger cargo ship in 1937, the start of WWll, the attack by a German raider under the disguise of a Swedish cargo ship, the sinking of his ship, journeys to various PoW camps, the horrors he endured in a Nazi concentration camp, his fears hopes, and dreams, all of which were dashed to pieces, and finally, the final battle in 1993 with a British tribunal for the compensation that Germany had awarded him.

The author is trying to get the war and maritime records corrected and to bring this account to the attention of relevant authorities.

Others around the world deny that Drancy was a concentration camp, obviously, the holocaust deniers are at the top of the list, referring to it as just a 'transit' camp. The following statement is in the 1993 tribunal transcript (copy in the book), quote, 'under the legal definition that we apply in the United Kingdom, we do not accept that Drancy was a concentration camp', unquote, and this, despite the overwhelming historical, recent, eyewitness and photographic evidence

According to the Weiner Library in London, the foremost authority and the oldest institution in the world that specialises in the Holocaust, Drancy was a 'concentration camp' and one of the worst (their statement is in the stenographer's transcript of the 1993 tribunal meeting). Interestingly too is the fact that on Amazon and many other sites, there are few books about Drancy referring to it as a concentration camp, but none are by British writers.
