I know one Jewish family that survived in Berlin. How? A prescient family member bribed a parish priest to issue birth records. Some members of my husband's family, including his father and mother, got out. Many did not and died.

I think that denial was an important factor, one that we are seeing here. But I think the active, organized resistance we are seeing here MAY save us.
