When asked to talk about how I survived World War II, I am fortunate that in my family we talked freely about the war and what happened to us.
I remember one event that changed my childhood: In 1945, France was liberated and its citizens who were in refugee camps in Switzerland were offered train tickets to return home.
Telling my story, verbally or in writing, is part of my attempt to describe the impact the Holocaust had on my parents and on me.
