tuary to the passengers. England took 287,
France 224, Belgium 214 and Holland 181.

Aft er the Germans invaded, an estimated
600 of the 938 passengers were murdered.

Breslow was one of the passengers sent
to a detention center in Holland.

She and her mother eventually gained
safe passage to the U.S. and reunited with
her father in Philadelphia in November
1939. In the United States, she had a career
as a medical technician and a phlebot-
omist in a medical laboratory before
retiring. Her husband, also a German
Jew, died in 2010, but she has two living
daughters and a son, along with nine
grandchildren. Breslow’s experiences as a child color
her life now.

She recently spoke at a Holocaust
Remembrance Day service held at Temple
Sholom in Broomall.

Th e congregation read the names of
thousands of victims who perished during
the Holocaust for 24 hours as a symbolic yet
intimate promise never to forget.
