Child of the forest

Description

Yona Bromberg recalls the time she was, along with her family "and all other Jews in Rokitna" herded to the Rokitna's Village Market. There the SS surrounded the building with uniformed soldiers and machine guns. Suddenly someone yelled "Run Jews, run!" and those who could flee to the woods. "My brother and father weren't as lucky as my mother, my sister and me; they were killed, and we survived in the woods for eighteen months until Liberation."
