I met a Holocaust survivor a few years ago when I was doing a raptor program.
Her granddaughter came in to the store first, saw the owl and said she wanted to bring her great grandmother in to see Nigel.
I saw the crude number tattoed on her arm and asked her where she was liberated from. She told me she was in a children's work camp in Poland and when the Russians went in she stayed and became a school teacher until Poland was no longer communist and immigrated to America.
