A Victim of Circumstances

After five childless years, Rachel and Jacob Goldstein's heartfelt prayers were finally answered with the birth of Sarah. Their painstaking care and unconditional love came to an abrupt end one wintry day in 1941 when an SS squad snatched Sarah from her mother's embrace. In one fell swoop, a lifetime of hopes and dreams were shattered forever.The immeasurable suffering Sarah endured in the Holocaust was not unlike that of her compatriots. But when she was freed, she had to deal with an additional handicap threatening to hinder her chances of rebuilding a new life - the opprobrium of her fellow Jews.
