Gail grew up very aware that her beloved father survived Auschwitz and the Mauthausen labor camp’s brutal environment. Still, she kept her suffering in the steamer trunk and silenced her voice because nothing could match what her father had endured.

Gail’s family had secrets, as all families do. It became her job to be the family’s secret keeper. It was not until her 63-year-old father stood on stage at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and told his story that Gail understood that her voice mattered, too.
