They met in Grand Central Station, both of them new to America after the war ended. Like Himmler, Gerhardt Newmann kept his cyanide capsule in his shirt pocket in case the Nazi hunters got too close and like the others, he had changed his name. His wife, Elfie spent the war years in two different concentration camps; Dachau and Buchenwald, and she had survived the death march with her handicapped daughter Astrid strapped to her back, Elfie only knew if she sat down on the long hungry trek, she would be shot. They both had seen the insides of camps, he as an SS officer, and she as a prisoner. About 20 years after the war, she started to talk about the camps. The more she talked, the more he tried to discourage her. She felt an obligation to tell the truth of genocide to prevent it from happening again. Gerhardt wanted to silence her and bribed her with stolen jewelry that had been sewed into hems and seams before people got on the cattle cars.
