Libu+Lebowitz

__Libu Lebowitz__

Libu's story starts when she is only the young age 14 years old and moving to the Ghetto. It was only a mile away from her home and she couldn't seem to understand why she couldn't just leave and walk back. At night she had an open space on a bare floor to sleep on among many other young females. Everyday family and frinds where sent to Nazi Camps and Factories. Libu watched them leave dreading the day that she would be one of them. But, unfortantly like every other, that day eventually came. She and her family where piled in to cattle cars and sent to Auschwitz with 150 other people. "The lucky ones on top got the cleanest air and escape from urine and other wastes." says Libu. Once in Auschwitz her mother and older sister where killed imediatly in the gas chambers. Her brother and father laster a little bit longer but where soon killed too. Eventually it was just her and her sister trying to stick together through all that was happening. She and Lea (her sister) where taken, cleaned, and had their heads shaved. They each where given one striped dress to wear. Together they lived in the C Camp with 35,000 other girls. At night they had to sleep in cots shared by 5. For dinner they had one pot of soup to share. They would each take 5 sips and pass the pot to the next person. If they were lucky they would have enough for another round. This meal kept them barely alive each night.
