An alert reader has sent us a color film of concentration-camp inmates operating a machine quite clearly the same as the one examined by our Klaus Schwensen in our Fall 2013 issue! The scene is in the three seconds between 52:38 min and 52:41 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBHwOY5nEDQ. Not to spoil it for you, but you'll note how cunningly…

Misha (deWael) Defonseca was unquestionably a victim, if a “collateral” victim, of the Germans who were occupying her country of Belgium when she was four years old.
