Survivor Story: Are You Comfortable, Ladies?

“Josef Mengele, the barbaric German doctor, strode into our barracks to inspect the living conditions of its 800 prisoners. He looked like a movie star in his high boots, white gloves, and impeccable uniform. ‘Good afternoon, ladies. Are you comfortable?’ he asked politely. No one said a word. The penalty for addressing this terrifying figure could be death.” 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.
