In a strange way , I am glad  Mme Baker relates to her parents as " holocaust survivors " as morbid as it sounds.  They were never  imprisoned nor did they live through concentration camp  horrors ..still they lived every day of their lives during the IIWW  in fear hunted by sheer thought  of what can happen  to them, it was  like  living on borrowed  time  ...Emotional scars  can be as deep as those  inflicted by force and on your physical body.  Surviving and being spared the camp  for many , including my father,  , was long lasting burden of guilt and  unexplainable  shame he felt til  the day he died.  Families and children  of those who lived through and survived  Holocaust  will never forget it, but it is not up to us to forgive  thus leaving us with eternal pain and suffering
