Auschwitz, Poland, 1944.-A nurse witnessed something she would never forget when Soviet soldiers came to the destroyed camp

 

A nurse witnessed something she would never forget when Soviet soldiers came to the destroyed camp of Auschwitz. She stumbled over a pile of small shoes, and there was the body of a little girl, which had only recently died.

But what she saw, was not simply what moved her--it was something simple.

The hair of the child was still well twisted. It was clean and neat, like her mother had done it with love that very morning.

There was no name. No family. Who will be her spokesperson? Only the braid was left behind.

The nurse replied, she was loved till the very end.

One of the braids was kept and preserved. It is nowadays kept at Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial, to silently remind us that even in the darkest corners there can be love.
