In 1945, a 14-year-old boy was imprisoned in a concentration camp. He was tall, thin, but had a bright smile. Every day, a young girl would pass by the fence. Noticing him, she asked if he spoke Polish. When he said yes, she remarked that he looked hungry. He admitted he was. She then took an apple from her pocket and gave it to him.
The next day, she returned with another apple. This became their daily ritual: she would walk by, hoping to see him, and happily hand him an apple in exchange for conversation.
One day, he told her not to come anymore, as he was being transferred to another camp. As he walked away in tears, he wondered if he would ever see her again—the only kind soul he had known behind the fence.
He survived the camp and later immigrated to America. In 1957, friends set him up on a blind date. During dinner, they talked about Poland and the war. The woman mentioned she had been in Poland at that time and used to give apples daily to a boy at a camp.
He asked if the boy was tall and skinny, and if he had told her not to come back because he was leaving. She said yes. It was her. After 12 years, in a different country, they had miraculously reunited.
He proposed that very night, vowing never to let her go again. They are still happily married today. A true love story, reminding us that miracles can happen.
