One of my favorite things about traveling and researching is the serendipitous experiences I have.
I was on my way to another research site, and I stopped at an antique shop to look at the pretty rings. While looking at the rings, my sister happened to mention that I was researching the Holocaust. The owner of shop, Joseph, happened to be from Budapest, and was, in fact, saved by Raoul Wallenberg.
Joseph's family was so kind, including his daughter, Ania, and his sister, Eva. We spoke for about a half an hour, and being able to share stories and learn from them was so powerful.
I feel so lucky to have met them.
