AMAZING FACT!

Did you know that some parents took away the wood from the top of the walls of their train carriage on the way to concentration camps and pushed their teenaged children through so they would have a chance to escape?  Some survived and pretended to be lost German children until the end of the war, but many were killed by German guards who were postitioned on top of the train.
