Father’s Day Remembrance: The Day My Dad Was Separated from His Parents at Auschwitz

The Nazis separated my 17-year-old dad from his parents on a train platform at Auschwitz. 
My father never forgot that trauma. 
He was put in a line for labor. 
His parents were put in a line for death. 
He jumped back to the death line. 
He was forcibly taken from his parents and hit with a cane.

How comparable this is to Trump’s policy is matter for our personal judgment. 
It is not the same, in my view. 
But it’s too close.
