“We were marched from the ghetto to Plaszow. Children were not allowed, but some people smuggled them in big ruck sacks. When the Gestapo saw them, they said they’d set up a nursery in the camp. Two weeks later, an open lorry with the children drove off and was never seen again. And that’s how those parents lost their children, with a trick that they’d be looked after.” 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.
