Sen. Michael Bennet said during Thursday’s first Democratic debate of the 2020 election season that he sees his mom in the migrant children being separated from their parents.
For one of the Democrats running for the White House, the unfolding tragedy of migrant children on the southern border is a heartbreaking echo of his mother’s story of surviving the Holocaust.
“My mom and her parents came to the United States to rebuild their shattered lives in the only country they could,” Bennet said.with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2012. Other memories, Susanne Bennett said, were more jarring, like the sight of starving Jews climbing up the metal stairs of their building and begging for food. She recalled what happened when one beggar her grandmother had helped knocked on the door of their upstairs neighbor.
The next day, she was taken by tram “to a place where they had a summer cottage,” some 13 miles outside of Warsaw.It was an unlikely hiding place for a little Jewish girl, she said, because it was “in the countryside across the street from a castle that belonged to people my parents knew and became the local Gestapo headquarters.”
Susanne Bennet said her mother found shelter with Polish friends and then “somehow or another ended up working with a group of nuns who were trying to help people a bit.” Several days later, the nuns — including her mother — showed up at the cottage where she was hiding, Suzanne Bennet said. She said she immediately recognized her mother but didn’t let on in front of the other nuns.
