Hiding in a Vegetable Bin Saved Their Lives
Lila Millen and her sister endured two years of terror and starvation in the Warsaw Ghetto, and were saved by a righteous gentile.
“Lucky Doll.” She was the only toy Lila Millen knew during her childhood in Poland during World War II. A gift from her father, the doll helped comfort Lila after the war when she turned 8 and learned she was a Jewish girl and not Catholic. She had to give up Easter baskets, rosary beads and a way of life that was a smokescreen so her family wouldn’t be turned in to the Nazis.
