Torchlighter Malka Rosental:
My mother turned herself over to the Germans in an effort to save my life. My father left me alone with a poor rural Polish family, the Kots. A Jewish child was found at a neighbor's home and the boy was murdered on the spot.
The Kots dug a pit in the cowshed and placed a large barrel in it. There was straw, 2 blankets, and a doll belonging to their daughter. I lived for a year and a half in the barrel.The place was so peaceful, nothing happened to anyone there. They were only after me.
