(10,179 posts)Bergen-Belsen, the camp where Anne Frank was taken. They survived and eventually married and came to the States.
I trained as a surgical tech with both of them, and when I would gown and glove them I'd see their tattoos. Chilling. I came into contact with them over the years at a nearby hospital where I was working after I graduated. They were the nicest people you would ever want to meet.
Years later they agreed, at my request, to meet with my nephew for an interview. He then wrote one of his college term papers on their experience. They loved it!
BTW, they were somewhat famous in our area for their experiences in Germany, and as Dr.s had prestige to begin with. They didn't need to bother with my nephew, but were so gracious and kind to him. I can hardly believe the horrors they endured.
