About this episode
In January 1943, 21-year-old Margot Friedländer returned to her home in Berlin to find her family gone – her 17-year-old brother had been arrested by the Gestapo, and her mother had turned herself in to the authorities to be with him. She left Margot a note with just five words, urging her to "try to make your life." After 15 months in hiding, Margot was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Decades after her liberation, Margot became one of the very few Berlin-born Holocaust survivors to return to Germany, saying Berlin was "how I actually discovered true humanity.”
