The History Extra Podcast
Product of the BBC
I heard a great talk from this series
The woman interviewed three women
In their 70's now
All born during the holocaust
Their mothers disguised their pregnancies
They were sent to a labor camp instead of Auschwitz
They did not draw attention to themselves
Surviving in baggy clothing
And clog wooden shoes
Surviving on bread, watery soup, and water
They were about 70 pounds
Two of them gave birth on the train
They held their babies close
In the bagging clothing
They still produced milk
They received some badly needed food in Czechoslovakia
The babies survived
All three of the mothers were given too much food
By the Americans
And they did not make it
May they rest in peace
One baby had healthy conditions
But was treated with penicillin by the Americans
And was fine
These women met recently at a Holocaust survivor meeting
To share there stories
The love of the mother is great
Love is stronger than hate
