Amazing how many people are holocaust deniers .
Of my husband’s family living in Germany at the time, only (newly graduated) Dr Elsbeth Gethorsam was determined and able to escape the oncoming Holocaust. She boarded the last ship to depart from Nazi Germany and was standing on deck when Nazi submarine stopped the ship, searching for Jewish passengers. She was standing at the railing and was determined to jump over board if identified. She survived to become one of the most respected practicing psychiatrists in the South. Spoke fluently with a pronounced German accent for the remainder of her life.
There was no record to be found of his remaining relatives in Europe.
Just like the Armenian holocaust, perpetrated by our “allies” the Turks a century or so ago, are conveniently swept under the rug of history.
But horrendous photographs of that time period still exist.
