My great-grandmother ran away from the Holocaust with her husband. Her parents and siblings decided not to come. My Bubi would never see her family again. While running away, my Bubi had two children. Sadly, one of them passed away due to a lack of food. Additionally, my Bubi had to cover her son’s mouth in the forest so the Nazis wouldn’t hear him crying at night. They soon arrived at a displaced persons camp and then eventually made their way to Canada by boat.
