The Holocaust and Survivor Stories: "Meier, Basia’s fiancé, built two underground tunnels so that if they needed to escape they could. One day, the Nazis came in, and people with bunkers hid in them. In a bunker leading to the sewer, Basia’s mother and fiancé were found. They were taken to Auschwitz where her mother was killed. But her fiancé escaped and came back to the second bunker where Basia was hiding.
The ghettos were being cleared out, and it wasn’t safe for them anymore. They decided to hide in the woods until things settled down. While hiding, Basia became very sick from eating unripened vegetables all the time. Meier would sneak out at night and get food for them even though it was extremely dangerous. Basia and Meier hid in the woods for the next five months. "
