Sergio Seriani became an indentured servant in a German factory during World War 11.
Living conditions were abysmal, food was very scarce. From the few anecdotes that Sergio told his family, the laborers would dig up the potatoes that others had planted out at night from the fields inside the plant, eat them and put the stems and leaves back onside the ground to make seem that the tuber was still there; they would eat even the peel. By Sergio's account he and other laborers would lick dew from the rocks in the morning to quench their thirst. Altogether during the time he spent there he lost over 55 lbs. from a healthy weight of 176 lbs to around 121 lbs. Eventually the Allied advanced all over Germany in April 1945 and freed the prisoners at Leuna Works.
