Escape—Teens on the RunPrimary Sources From the HolocaustSeries: True Stories of Teens in the HolocaustBy Linda Jacobs Altman DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews Stuck in an airtight boxcar on a cattle train, Eva was destined for a Nazi death camp. Eva's father told her and her two siblings to jump off the speeding train . . . maybe they could survive. Her brother and sister were both shot and killed by the Nazis.
