She paid no heed to the stories about a man named Adolf Hitler, his Nazi Party, and their plan for a world that did not include Jews.
But almost overnight her ordinary life was gone, replaced by a nightmare world of terror and death. Millions of people disappeared into the horror of the Holocaust. But Blima's story survives. It is told here by her daughter, Shirley Russak Wachtel.

Her crime? Tragically of being born a Jew. One of the many many, who was pulled from her life., Her home and family, everything dear to her
She survived as a semptress, initially taught by a sympathetic guard, of all people.
Eventually moved to a death camp, where the end of war meant survival. Just.
A testimony to the.human spirit remaining human and some kindness.
Each and every person so afflicted, has an individual testimony to tell.

This is a wonderful account of life from the day the legal kidnapping occurred.
And among the sadistic guards was one good woman.
Blima and her Angel must never be forgotten.
