Wow, that's quite a story. I'm afraid I don't know any from my family. My grandmother died when I was quite young. I don't really remember her as anyone other than someone who occasionally appeared on family trees and old black and white photographs. Another piece of history: family trees and old Nazi records show that my great-grandfather died in Treblinka* of "natural causes". A few years ago I went to visit Sachsenhausen as part of a school trip. They said that the Nazis often put down "natural causes" on the death certificates of Jewish people who had been killed in the camps - presumably so that they could cover up the genocide. After all, if they just destroyed the death certificates then they'd still have to explain how all those people died. So we have no way of actually knowing how he died. The evidence was probably burned, or swept under the carpet of history in some other way. EDIT: I looked it up, it was Auschwitz not Treblinka.
