Her Escape From Germany

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I was in a room with a middle-aged lady and her mother, whom was the patient.  The  lady told me  little about her mother and her family.  It impressed me about the fortitude of this fine ninety-six year old lady lying in the bed!

The patient was a young sixteen year old girl living in Nazi Germany.  One chaotic night her and her brother had to make an escape from their own country, and people, and the only home that they knew.

Her father was a talented accountant and was sending money out of the country to the Jews that it belonged to, and was lucky enough to escape!  When her father found out that the German Gestapo was investigating him, he sent his children to safety!

Her father would not go, because the Gestapo was watching him.  He would sacrifice himself and make sure his children got to safety. They had an Aunt in Germany but she was known to be very cruel!

Our patient, who was only sixteen at the time fled to Prague in Czechoslovakia.  Her brother who was eighteen, fled to London, England. They split up and traveled different routes so if they were caught, they wouldn't both be arrested. This lady had lived more life in twenty-one years than most of us live in a lifetime! What an amazing lady in such a difficult time.

Do you know of a great escape story?  Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
