They miraculously survived two years in the woodsthrough brutal winters, Typhus outbreaks, and merciless Nazi raidsuntil they were liberated by the Red Army in 1944. After the war they trekked across the Alps into Italy where they settled as refugees before eventually immigrating to the United States.
