“When the woman who’d taken me in was sent to a labor camp, I was found at a train station by a Red Cross attendant who handed me to a Polish Christian family. They had five older children but raised me as one of their own. After the war, they wanted to adopt me, but it was forbidden and I was put in a Jewish orphanage (pictured below) where I was adopted by a Jewish family. I have since met the families who risked their lives to save me but know little of my birth parents, who hoped we’d reunite when the war ended.” Read about two Holocaust survivors, German Jewish newlyweds sent to America by their parents to have children to “save our people,” in One Person’s Loss.
