“They came for us at noontime.”
Judah Samet is a survivor of the Holocaust who visited Ringgold Middle School Friday afternoon to share his story with seventh- and eighth-graders.
Samet, 82, told the students his entire family was home for lunch, which was common then, when they heard what he calls the “goose footsteps” of the Gestapo. He demonstrated the sound by slapping his hard-soled shoes on the auditorium stage flat-footed.
They stopped right outside his door, right across the street from the synagogue in April 1944, when he was just 6 years old.
“We were told to leave everything but our papers and some change of underwears,” Samet said.
