Mrs. N. recalls transport from M?awa with two sisters to Auschwitz; their transfer to Budy; forced labor constructing roads; one of her sister's death; a death march three years later to Ravensbru?ck; another death march; liberation by American troops; returning to M?awa with her sister; marriage there to Mr. N.; fleeing Poland after anti-Semitic incidents; and emigration to the United States in 1949. They discuss their pride in their son and grandchildren; feeling their experiences were impossible to survive; and their sense of loss of European Jewry - an entire nation.
