Miracle #34

A short time later a Jewish man came into the orphanage looking for his daughter. Since Bronia fit the description of the man's daughter she was taken to meet him. Both Bronia and he knew that this man was not her father but she begged him in Yiddish to take her anyway so she could get back to her home.

The man claimed her as his daughter and then put her on a train back to her hometown. When she finally made it to her home town she went looking for the Jewish Market. She was told by a woman that it no longer existed.

The woman then asked her family name, and she told Bronia that she thought her aunt had survived. The woman took Bronia home, washed her, fed her, and put her to sleep.

The next day she brought the aunt to see Bronia. But it was not Bronia's aunt.

It was her mother!
