'It was April 10th, 1942, I had only been 18 for two months. I was supposed to be shopping for ingredients for dinner. It was only me, mom and two of my older brothers, Danny and Theo. The oldest John got a scholarship to go to Harvard University for science and research while my older sister Lily ran away from home. She wanted to go and find Rose.'
'She couldn't take life without her anymore. Rose... Rose went missing six months back. We, we had no idea what happened to her and we couldn't look for her either. It was hard enough for us to convince my father to let John go to school and raise the funds for his ticket. So money was always a huge issue.'
