Many memories came up to the surface while talking about my life with my friends and family in Sarny. Despite the bad economy, the rampant Anti-Semitism and the knowledge of the inevitable war in Europe, my father had been making plans to make aliyah to Palestine. He planned to sell the hardware store and our house and use the money to buy land in Palestine. Unfortunately, by the time he sold the store and home, it was too late to emigrate. We were trapped. I managed to escape, but the entire family was killed by the Germans, with all the other Jews.
