Survivor Story: Now Go Alone

“After Germany occupied northern Italy, my father, his friends, and I fled to the mountains to cross the Alps into Switzerland. A guide, descended from famous mountaineers, helped us across a steep rock face. Then he stopped, pointed straight ahead at a glacier, and said, ‘That’s the border. I can’t go farther. Now you must go alone.’” 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.
