Survivor Story: Rejecting Revenge

“When the Nazis occupied Greece, a neighbor told a German soldier, ‘the daughter of our Jewish landlady is sleeping inside.’ I was arrested, still in my nightgown, and trucked to a camp. At the end of my ordeal, when I returned home, partisans offered to kill the neighbor but I said no. She had a two-and-a-half year old daughter, and I did not want the little girl to become an orphan.” 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.
