Chaim lives with his English wife and children in Newcastle, England. Brother and sister write regularly and see each other as often as they can. Manya was stunned. For 39 years she believed Chaim had died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. The Korenblits returned immediately to America.

Through the barbed wire fence at Budzyn they had promised to meet again in Hrubieszow if lib- eration ever came. They kept their vow.
