Survivor Story: Furs and Rags

“The summer I turned 13, I was sent to a labor camp. We were dressed in furs, boots, hats, and gloves — confiscated from Jewish victims — and made to run for hours. A cross-eyed SS man punished us if we stopped. In winter, we had only a thin rag dress to wear.” 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.
