Who will remember the victims?
Eighty-nine-year-old Holocaust survivor Edith Westerfeld was just a young girl when she escaped the Nazi terror that claimed her family. Seventy-six years later, she returns to her small German hometown to witness the unveiling of the Stolpersteine-memorial stones laid to honor her lost loved ones.
