Details	Rose-Helene Spreiregen was just a child waiting in line for rations when she overheard adults call her a “dirty Jew.” Naive and vulnerable, she thought, “Maybe they had a point. Maybe I was no good.” Rose-Helene had been fending for herself and her grandmother in German-occupied Paris ever since authorities had deported her mother in July 1942. A year later, fearing more roundups, the pair fled the city with false papers. They hid their identity at police checkpoints along their journey, and Rose-Helene recalled, “I don’t think I was ever more scared.” Watch to discover what happened next and if Rose-Helene and her mother ever reunited. Speaker Rose-Helene Spreiregen, Holocaust Survivor and Museum Volunteer Moderator Bill Benson, Journalist and Host, First Person: Conversations with Holocaust Survivors Watch live at youtube.com/ushmm.
