My mother was born in Galicia, Poland. She grew up with her grandparents in a big city. She was aware of the advent of the war and went back to convince her parents to escape to Russia. She returned to Poland hoping to join a Zionist group and go to Palestine. She was caught by the Germans and sent to Vilna. From there she was sent to many camps. She and her husband-to-be were separated but found each other in Bergen-Belsen at the end of the war. They married and moved to Israel. Most of the family survived because of the move to Russia.
