A couple of years ago I met an old man with a tattoo who as a young lad had played with her in the ghetto shortly before she and her family disappeared into hiding. He didnt think anything of her at the time - the penny dropped only later when the diary was published. He was "lucky" - his brother had been born in the UK so he and his family were "Tausch Juden" (Jews to be exchanged for cash as foreign citizens), comparatively well treated and never destined for death though it came close a few times. By the end of the war he and his brother (separated from their parents) had been trucked into Germany, heavily guarded. One morning, starved half to death, they looked out and the guards had gone. They were just left there, with some others, with no idea where they were or what was to be done. Crazy stuff all in all. It can happen here. E
