And beautiful to read them all as a continuing story.
The scenes on the train are remarkable – all of it.

Thank you so much for sharing every one of these stories. Each family has its own circumstances and way of framing its experiences. From a multifaith family, I am always fascinated by how people do or do not incorporate various parts of their history, culture, religion. I like a friend’s mention of various descriptors rather than identities, as I am made up of so many elements.

Oh Susie this is profound! I was born in 1945 so never experienced WW2 but have spent a lifetime reading about it. I cannot imagine how awful it was for Lilli and her family. I have many Jewish friends so I do know about the holidays and their meanings. I am heartbroken over what’s happening in Ukraine. It seems like WW2 all over again. I pray for Ukraine every night. Thank you for your wonderful words! We must never forget the suffering that happened in those years! Peace to you and your family!
