In Soul signature, I was a little like the girl seen at the lower left side of the photo. Like her, I had a younger brother and sister. But I was several years younger than the girl on the left. My little sister was a year or so younger than I, and my little brother was but an infant. As to my parents, my mother was, in Soul signature, like the beautiful lady shown at top center in the photo. My father, in stature, was like the mustachioed gentleman shown at top right in the photo; but in Soul signature he was like the younger, clean-shaven man shown at top left in the photo. We were not there in the death camp with a grandmother or grandfather. –Alice B. Clagett
