He was in a Christian home, for boys only, and he stayed there for the distance of the war and after the war. When the liberation was complete, he had rear his way home, while Sarah was hush up hidden. Her mother had gotten away by verbal expression that she was not Jewish, and escaped easy at this because most of the S. S blandly looked for begrimed olive eyes and hooked noses.
