Biography
Ib Katznelson was born in 1941. His family was arrested by the Gestapo during World War II and subsequently sent to the concentration camp Theresienstadt in present-day Czech Republic. They were repatriated by the Red Cross on April 15, 1945, shortly before the liberation of the camp.
Book : Let Him Go (2020)
"Sold, 21 Jews to the Gestapo for 600 kr." That was the headline on the front page of EkstraBladet in 1945. The article was about two informers who had informed the Gestapo that a Jewish escape to Sweden would take place from the Chemical Factory at Amager Strandvej. Those Jews included two-year-old Ib Katznelson and his family. Katznelson is the first to thoroughly analyze what happened at the Chemical Factory. Ib relates his mother's and father's stories, along with those of others in the camp by means of testimonies, letters, and historical documentation.
