Anthony Faramus

The autobiographical accounts of his survival of Fort de Romainville, Buchenwald and the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp complex were published as The Faramus Story in 1954 and Journey into Darkness in 1990.

Faramus worked as a hairdresser in a Saint Helier salon and later, during the early stages of the German occupation of the Channel Islands, was employed in the kitchen of the Miramar Hotel.

Faramus names Centenier Arthur Tostevin, an Honorary Police officer of Saint Helier and Detective Constable Benjamin Shenton as the officials who had allegedly informed the Germans about the leaflet.

Failing to acknowledge the man's presence and not coming to attention and removing my cap from my head until he had passed by was one crime, the interruption of my work without permission was another.

In film footage[7] gathered by the US Department of Defense after the 11th Armored Division of the 3rd US Army entered the camp on 5 May 1945, Lt Jack H. Taylor spoke about his capture and imprisonment and the conditions at Mauthausen.

[citation needed] For more than a year after the war Faramus lived in Paris as he searched for some of the women and men that he had known while imprisoned in Fort de Romainville.

[1] He described his experience to a fellow hunt saboteur as "worse than his time at Fort de Romainville: no officer at Winchester Prison ever called him Tony", it was always the impersonal Faramus.

[citation needed] An operation to remove his lung in the 1950s as a result of the TB contracted in the concentration camps led to his death in August 1990, aged 70.

More than 100 people, including actors, hunt saboteurs and concentration camp survivors, attended his funeral at St Andrew's Church, Farnham.
