My Own Relatives My grandparents, uncles and aunts, and parents were in the camps. Out of 137 relatives only six survived. My Aunt Niomi was a sex slave at Auschwitz and to this day she 'Saddle Syndrome' or acute bowl legged-ness. My uncles Jakob and Bernie had blue dye injected in their eyes, and were sewn together by Mengele. |
