Survivor Story: Hot Milk

“Throughout October 1941, we received instructions each time a street in the ghetto would be evacuated to the work camps. To avoid deportation, we moved to other streets, but knew our turn would come soon. The night before, Mom bought two liters of milk and boiled them in a large pot. In the camps later, suffering from starvation, the memory of hot milk accompanied us with longing.” 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. Learn more about the book in NOVELS.
