Survivor Story: Blue and Yellow Bras

“The Swedes were very generous, considering that their own food and clothing were strictly rationed. Women could receive only one dress, one pair of shoes, and two pairs of stockings a year. No bra. One day the Swedish flag was stolen from the flagpole. The crime was solved when blue and yellow bras appeared on the camp’s clothesline.” 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.
