You betrayed us:

15. My uncle also

liberated a concentration camp. In 1949, my then 11 year old sister came home from school and demanded the photos he had taken. Why? The teacher told the class it didn't happen! She took the photos to school, stood up and demanded to pass them around the room. And she did. And told who had taken them!

In my early twenties I had a friend who had come to the USA at the age of three. She showed me a photo of her arrival in the USA. A lovely photo of her handsome, beautiful parents and her three year old self. All were beautifully dressed, I commented on how well dressed they were. She told me, "that was all we had, we left with the clothes on our backs, nothing more."

I also had neighbors who survived and had the numbers tattooed on their arms.

Am I the only one who remembers the blue, silver and gold starred banners hanging in neighbors windows?
