You are a wonderful writer!

My husband's grandmother Jenny was a Jewish unmarried woman in Germany when she gave birth to my husband's mother in the 1920s. Jenny gave the baby to a non-Jewish family to raise. My husband and his sisters never knew their mother was half-Jewish until about 2000. We now know Jenny was able to visit her daughter. In 1940 she was sent to Camp de Guts and then to Auschwitz where she died. Jenny probably saved her daughter's life because she gave her up.
