On Kristallnacht she remembers her mother squeezing her hand as they ran through the streets smelling the burning buildings and books, and hearing the sounds of windows crashing and breaking.
Judith's mother was picked up by the police, taken to Ravensbrück concentration camp and never seen again.
She remembered using green soap, only to be told later that it was manufactured from the marrow of Jews.
Judith joined the Haganah, the underground group fighting for Israeli independence.
In early 1941, Judith and her younger brother returned from school to find her mom and grandmother sewing yellow stars on all of their clothing.
She became a member of the German youth groups and marched with the class, saluting "Heil Hitler."
In May 1945, Judith began to hear about the concentration camps and the rumors of masses of Jewish deaths.
