Molly shares the story of her grandparents, Frank and Magda Stern, Hungarian Jews who were forced to live in a ghetto and narrowly escaped death by Nazi soldiers numerous times. Magda gave birth to their son in the ghetto, with little food and unsanitary conditions. She received word that Frank was dead while he was in the forced labor service, only for them to reunite at a convent where Magda had taken their son to recuperate at the end of the war. 

If you heard what Molly heard, you would never forget.
