As the war came to a conclusion, the discov- ery of death camps came to light. By the time the smoke cleared 6 million Jews killed, echos through time. Everyone was in denial at first. To ensure denial would not take a hold on history, our generals made sure that everyone nearby toured the camps, saw the dead bodies, helped clean up and document the findings. Mass murder on an industrial scale was something never before seen in world history. The term Holocaust did not appear until the 1950’s. The Jews refer to it, solomley, as The Shoah. Dora’s step-brother, Isaac Chomut (Isaac Emmett), was found alive in a displaced person’s camp along with his wife, Rose, and two children, Luba and Michael. Michael was born at the camp. Isaac’s testimony can be found in Yad Vashem. Luba (Laura Oberland- er) story is in a book called Brisko (2014). To gain American citizenship, my parents elected to sponsor Isaac and his family. Attached to the form was an audit of Frank Shooster & Sons (1946). The application was approved. Upon arrival, they stayed at Dora’s brother, Benjamin’s, until they could afford their own place.
