Only Miracles
Author(s): Dodd Loomis
Holocaust survivor Rose (Raisa) Lefkowitz Rosenkranz was born in a slave labor camp during WWII. Both her father and mother were born in Poland and lost their families during the Holocaust. The two met in a Siberian slave labor camp, where they were sent after fleeing to Russia to escape the Nazi occupation. This is where Rose was born. After the war, having survived the camp, the young family moved to the United States.
