Synopsis
Marguerite Lederman was born to Jewish parents in Brussels, Belgium on May 8, 1941. Their lives were changed by the Holocaust when her father was taken and murdered at Auschwitz. Her mother approached the Belgian resistance movement to get help finding a hiding place for her two daughters. Marguerite’s new family owned a café that Nazi soldiers frequented. The soldiers were very kind to Marguerite, not knowing she was Jewish. One of the soldiers became particularly fond of Marguerite and brought her small gifts. One day, while she was sitting on his lap, he made the disparaging comment that he “could smell a Jew ten miles away!” How ironic. Read how these two little girls survived the war and came to live in Chicago, Illinois.
