"That night, my family fled from that town, escaped, and ended up on a passage to America"--Claudia Heilbrunn
My story is about how my grandfather, his brother, and his parents escaped from Germany from the Nazis in World War II. My family is Jewish, so it was especially dangerous for them to live in Germany at that time. My great grandfather was very bold and spoke out against the Nazis anyway. My mom narrates it.

"She was a wine maker and a widow" - Maria Enestia Adu
