					and when the guards herded the other children away, 
- 
				  
					Gruper saved those twins. 
- 
				  
					I can recall thinking that they were lucky. 
- 
				  
					But nobody was lucky in Auschwitz. 
- 
				  
					I didn't know it then, 
- 
				  
					but Dr. Gruper never saved a single soul. 
- 
				  
					He would visit us regularly in the women's barracks, 
- 
				  
					bring us sweets, chocolates. 
- 
				  
					The guards would never strike us when he was present. 
- 
				  
					He wanted to help, he said. 
- 
				  
					But he couldn't treat all the girls, he would say. 
- 
				  
					So he left it to chance.
