Sheva's promise

The author recalls her experiences in a Nazi Jewish ghetto in Rohatyn, Poland with her mother and sister in 1941. As they waited to see what their fate would be, she was able to escape with a false birth certificate because she did not look Jewish. Her mother and sister remained behind, and ultimately perished. She found work in a hospital in Germany under her assumed identity and managed to elude Nazi capture. After the war, she immigrated to the United States with her husband.
