As a baby, she was imprisoned together with her mother in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. At the close of the war, in an attempt to hide evidence of their atrocities, the Nazis evacuated the camp locking 2,400 prisoners including three-year-old Carry and her mother into a freight train. Stopped on open tracks, the train was discovered two weeks later by soldiers of the Russian army. Its crowded containers were filled with dead bodies amid the survivors. Though Carry’s father and many other family members did not survive the Holocaust, she now lives with her husband Louis in Israel and the Netherlands.
