Survivor Story: It Just Slipped Out

“Twice a day, no matter the weather, we stood outside for Zellappell (roll call). One day, a woman gave birth to a premature baby. No one knew she was pregnant. The tiny baby just slipped out. Still standing, we dug a hole with our feet in the sandy soil and buried it.” 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.
