Walter in his book, Confronting the Silence: A Holocaust Survivor's Search for God, Walter tells many stories about his time in the seven internment camps. He speaks on one specific occasion while in a camp called Brande located in Silesia, Poland. During his time in this camp, he was a part of a slave labor camp he was favored by a inmate commander, Pompeii. This commander provided him with extra bread that had been stolen from other inmates. He was forced to do things like clean up dead bodies within the wash barracks. While he worked in these factories, Walter even gained some of his engineering skills while being enslaved in these factories.
