The Slow Descent into Darkness
The Holocaust didn't begin with gas chambers. It started with small, almost imperceptible changes. As a young girl in Hungary, I watched as our lives slowly constricted. First, there were whispers, then laws, then yellow stars. We told ourselves it would pass, that surely things couldn't get worse. But they did, relentlessly. I'm often asked, "How did people let this happen?" The truth is, it happened gradually. Like a frog in slowly heating water, we didn't realize the danger until it was too late. By the time we were herded onto cattle cars, the world we knew had already vanished. The journey to Auschwitz was a nightmare of confusion and fear. Packed into train cars with no food, water, or sanitation, we clung to each other and to hope. Upon arrival, in a moment that haunts me still, I was separated from my parents. I never saw them again. That separation was the worst thing that happened to me – worse than the hunger, the cold, the constant threat of death. It was the moment my childhood truly ended.
