Yes – as I’m sure many others do as well.

My mother was in Auchwitz with her sister and her sister’s 2 young children; really babies, standing on the ‘selectia’ line.

My mother, a single girl, was sent by her parents to help her sister that lived in a different town.

As thjey stood on the line, my mother holding 1 baby and her sister holding another, a Polish guard walking up and down the line to keep order, came over to my mother, took the baby away from her and gave the baby to her sister, then walked away. My mother quickly tookthe baby back, to help her sister. They continued to proceed down the line and again this guard came over to my mother, took the baby away from her and gave the baby to her sister and walked away. Once again my mother took the baby back from her sister. They were just about to get to the head of the line, where Mengele stood (Yimach Shimo V’zichro) when the guard came back to my mother once again, took the baby away from her and gave the baby back to her sister. Just then the reached the front of the line – my mother was sent to the left and her sister and babies were sent to the gas chambers.
