I had the privilege to interview 83 yr old Holocaust survivor Karmela Waldman. Born in 1939 in Yugoslavia, just a few short years later she found herself escaping with her mother from Nazi home invaders. Her mother realized they had to separate and Karmela found herself being hidden at a Catholic Convent/School. She held on to her Jewish heritage while learning all things Catholic. After Russian allies liberated Belgrade she eventually reunited with her mother. Hear her compelling story, how she stayed true to her Jewish heritage at such a young age, her family life today and some fun anecdotes too!
