My Family's Side of the Story

My husbands side of the family was not Jewish but they did know about the roundups. My family was looking for a new apartment and the one they moved into belonged to Sarah. The landlord knew that that Jews were all taken and she never expected people to come back. When Sarah came back my family had no idea what happened them. When she found her little brother, she shrieked so loud that it never fully left my family's ears. My step father never talked about that day again but secretly, he sent money to Sarah for years to help her get on with her life. He never got to tell her he was sorry.
