Ek77
My name is Edith Klar, (née Steiner). I was born in Vienna, Austria to a loving family who had great dreams for the future. Unfortunately, in 1938, Adolf Hitler marched into Vienna and life became a nightmare. Many of my family members were either killed or sent to camps. I was sent to a convent. I was 4 years old, and I screamed in my room every day because I didn’t understand why I was being punished. My mother took me out of the convent just hours before it was raided. Sixty Jewish children and all the nuns were taken to be gassed. I constantly ask myself how this could have happened to humanity.
