Ms. Waterford tells of her escape from Germany and the giving of her five-year-old child to another couple so that they could join the underground. They were later arrested and sent to Auschwitz, where she worked in a factory until the end of the war. Part of her narrative gives details about Josef Mengele. When the war was over she started searching for her daughter, whom she found was still alive. She left Czechoslovakia and eventually settled in America. Her daughter is now married and living in Israel.
