The two couples Sesha, her husband Mendel, my mother Gittel (pregnant with me), and my father Shmuel. Near Stuttgart, 1946.

Sesha was a girlhood friend of my mother's in their small Polish village of Garbatka. The two went through Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and liberation together, and both met and married their husbands soon after.
