This is a memoir of two Holocaust survivors. Danka grew up in Lvov Poland, twice jumped off moving trains to Belzec extermination camp, then sought refuge in a Ukraine convent. After liberation by the Russians, she joined the Aliah Bet Movement and travelled by illegal boat to the Promised Land where she was interned by the British in Atlit, a displaced personÕs camp. There she met Heniek [Henry]. Henry grew up in Pabianice Poland. When the Nazis invaded, he survived the Ghettos of Pabianice and Lodz and the concentration camps in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Braunschweig, Ravensbruch and Wobblin. After liberation by the Americans he travelled back home and then by illegal boat as part of the Aliah Bet Movement to Haifa where he was arrested and interned into Atlit. So began a courtship and a journey to re-establish a normal life and family, first in Israel then in Australia. Danka and Henry now have three sons, eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren. This is a story of hope and triumph over adversity.
