Liberation After Night Deportation: A Jersey Family’s WWII Ordeal

Gloria Bullen, then 10, and her family from Gorey were deported in 1942 after Hitler ordered British Channel Islanders to be moved to Germany. They spent weeks at Biberach internment camp before being moved to Bad Wurzach castle, enduring scarce food, limited schooling, and isolation from locals. Food parcels from the Red Cross offered rare relief. Liberation came in 1945 when Gloria’s father saw tanks approaching; they returned to Jersey and later moved to Cornwall in 1954. The story highlights the personal toll of occupation and wartime shortages on the islands.

Miracle Babies of the Death Train: Surviving Auschwitz and the Mauthausen Liberation

Three young Holocaust survivors—Eva Clarke, Hana Berger-Moran, and Mark Olsky—were born to pregnant prisoners who concealed their pregnancies to avoid Nazi execution, endured brutal transports from Auschwitz-area camps on a death train to Mauthausen, and survived to be liberated by American troops. Their mothers' stories intersected as the babies endured famine, starvation, and peril, the rescue by a U.S. medic saved Hana’s life, and the three families later found each other, sparking a rare, enduring bond across generations that continues to memorialize the past.
