Jews Persecuted
She added, “This was only a pre

a German attache in France by
a young Polish boy, Jews were
persecuted so unmercifully that
thousands committed suicide or
were killed attempting to escape
across the border.”

Next she told of her flight to
France and from there her journey
to America. During the crossing
