Survivor Story: Saved by the Philippines

“After Nazis confiscated my father’s store, we fled to the Philippines where there was a community of 1,200 Jewish refugees. My father became a peddler; my mother sewed dresses, aprons, and baby clothes for him to sell. We survived the Japanese occupation and the brutal battle between Japan and the U.S. over Manila.” Read about two Holocaust survivors in One Person’s Loss. Learn more about the book in NOVELS.
