Henry was Henryk Rosmarin and Janet was Jadzia Jakubowicz when they met in her fathers apartment in the little shtetl of Czeladz in Poland. Henryk was there for High Holiday services that were being held in secret by Jadzias father because they had been banned by the Nazi administration. She laughed two years later when he proposed that "When this is all over we should find each other and we should get married and make a life together." Just a few weeks after his marriage proposal they were forcibly deported from their homes. Janet spent years in Auschwitz and Birkenau while Henry was sent to GrossRosen and Buchenwald. Henry survived by using his harmonica and his voice to entertain his captors in return for his life.
