Ak86
I was born in Vienna, Austria, to Hersch Samuel and Frieda Kernberg. My father owned a knitting factory and we lived a middle class life. In 1938, Germany annexed Austria and life changed drastically. Jews were stripped of their possessions and ostracized. In March 1939, I was sent to France where the Œuvre de Secours aux Enfants (OSE) placed me in four different children’s homes. I was chosen to leave France on a children’s transport to the USA. My parents and brother were deported from Vienna to Opole on February 26, 1941, and shortly after were deported to Sobibor where they were killed.
