IF YOU HEARD WHAT DANA HEARD
DANA SHARES THE STORY OF HER GRANDFATHER, NAT ROSS, WHO WAS NAMED AFTER HIS GRANDFATHER, THE CHIEF RABBI OF STANISLAWOW, POLAND - AN URBAN COMMUNITY OF OVER FIFTY THOUSAND JEWS. NAT SURVIVED SEVERAL FORCED LABOR CAMPS, AUSCHWITZ, AND ESCAPED DURING A DEATH MARCH WHERE HE HID UNDER A HAY STACK IN THE SNOW FOR SEVERAL DAYS. HE WAS DISCOVERED BY A GROUP OF NAZI OFFICERS, CONVINCED THEM HE WASN’T JEWISH, AND WAS THEN SENT TO A PRISONER OF WAR CAMP WHERE AN IMPRISONED BRITISH BRIGADE TOOK HIM UNDER THEIR WING AND HELPED HIM SURVIVE.. DANA BELIEVES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN NAT AND HIS NAMESAKE MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN NAT’S SURVIVAL.
IF YOU HEARD WHAT DANA HEARD, YOU WOULD NEVER FORGET.
