Survivor Story: Like a God

“‘When will I see my mother?’ one woman asked Dr. Mengele. ‘In a few weeks,’ he answered pleasantly. ‘When will I see my little girl?’ another asked and got the same answer. We almost believed him. He looked so elegant and civilized, like a God. He really meant we’d see our loved ones in a few weeks, going up to heaven in smoke from the crematorium.” 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.
