“My grandmother hid with my mom and aunt in an attic. A man with two sons and a young couple were already there. There was a ladder, but no one to take it away. When the SS searched the building, the ladder saved them. A soldier said that if anyone was up there, they wouldn’t have left it.” 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.
