The excitement in his eyes of meeting greeting me was admiring. He reached his hand out and nervously stated, “I can’t believe I am meeting the one and only Adolf Hitler. How do you do, Sir? Sargent?

She did as she was told, and it just so happens that a short period of time later she and other girls were forced on a “Death march,” as it was called.
