I read an article
about the train
that took my great-uncle and my great-aunt
Jeschie and Rachel to Auschwitz:
Convoy 62.
The article said
that some of the prisoners on Convoy 62
escaped from the train
while it was in a tunnel.
One of the prisoners was called
Oscar Handschuh
and when he jumped from the train
he knocked himself out.

After a bit, he came round and headed off into the countryside.
He arrived at a farm and asked for help.
The people there were called
Mariette and Marcel Médard.
They bandaged his head, gave him clothing
and food and hid him in an attic.
That day, German soldiers came to the farm.
They said they were looking for ten Jews
who had jumped from a train.
Marcel Médard said that there was no one in the house.

A long while later, the war ended –
and for many years, the Handschuh family stayed
in touch with the Médard family.
Why? Because Oscar Handschuh knew,
and the Médard family knew
that if Oscar Handschuh had been found by the soldiers that day,
he would have been killed,
and the Médard family would have been killed.
All of them.
