When was olga levy drucker born

As her mother walked off the train, Olga was crying, along with all of the other kids on the train. As the train started moving again, Olga was still very sad that she had to say her last goodbyes to her Mom.

Olga eventually got to move in with another family in England. When she saw her new family, they were very poor and did not have many things. The owner of the house's daughter gave her a really mean look, and stared her down, right when Olga first arrived at the house.

When she stepped into the house, her daughter gave Olga a pinch. She suffered going through this every day. It was just like how she was living in Germany, suffering from Hitler. Luckily, to escape things, Olga had another family take her to their house and live there. When she first looked at her new house, she was amazed. It was very large and it looked like a mansion. When Olga got to her new bed it was neat and the house was very tidy.

Olga did not even have sheets in the old house, so she was very lucky to live there. She also had a "Sister", but instead of her pinching Olga, she would be very kind. Olga really appreciated this new family and how they treated her. Olga stayed there for a while and she also went to school. As Olga got older, she started to understand what really happened to her and why she moved to different families. She was 11 years-old when this happened, but she did it all by herself and without her family.

If you were wondering about her family, Hans became part of the army, and her parents survived the Holocaust. Her parents died from old age.
