Following the war, in order to get a visa, it was necessary for someone to verify our birth date. Our aunt ... believed that we had been born in 1934. That was the date she gave authorities. But, my sister and I both believe that we were nine-years-old when we went to Auschwitz in May, 1944. However, since my aunt told the authorities 1934, we must list our birth date as 1934, not 1935.") Surviving the Angel of Death, 2009: ECIP t.p.
