Luckily they let her go. jeannies mother after they left took jeannie and her sister to a secret hide out with another woman. They never did see their father again. After her dad didn't ever come back, her mom struggled to help the family. Her dad dies from being gassed, and if she was home she could of been too. Her mother then got breast cancer and died in 1950. They then went to new york to visit the union headquarters. Later, about a month after she got back from new york the savage family, who was related offered to take her in for a better life. The flight was 18 hours but she tries to sneak back on the plane to go back home. At 12 years old she weighed only 62 pounds and was told her skin looked grey by the Savage family who adopted her. Jeannie got married at a very young age, had two boys but then got divorced shortly after. She wasn't married for a very long time until she met maurice. He already had 4 children, with a wife who had past. Jeannie soon joined the new americans social club. Then in 1985 they went to the world gathering holocaust survivors. There she met many other survivors and heard their stories. There was a book that the german had held with all the people who went to concentration camps and the dates they came back. But there was no date next to her father's name meaning he was dead. Jeannie had never actually known if her father had died but on that day she finally knew. Jeannie still doesn't forget what the germans did. http://www.holocaustsurvivors.org
13 Review for the new hit show, 13 reasons why There are a lot of different opinions on this new hit show “13 reasons why” It has started conversations all around the world. This new show is about a girl who committed suicide because her life got to be too much. But before she does she leaves 13 tapes about 13 people who drives her to do this. It is heart stopping and you just can't stop watching it! They are thinking about making a season 2 but because of all the controversy about the show they are still questioning on making it or not. You want to find out who did what they did and why they did it. The show leaves a lot of cliffhangers so i hope they do make a season 2. The actors are incredible in the show and give you a lifelike feeling. This show is important because it teaches you to be aware about the people behind you. It also shows that the littlest things can make the biggest difference in someone's life. This is definitely a 5 star rating from me, but you will want to find out for your own. no source used
