I sat for a while on the floor of what had been a Polish prisoner barracks, wondering if the men and women imprisoned at Treblinka included someone one of my grandparents had spoken with – the dentist who filled my grandfather’s tooth, the seamstress who sewed a button on my grandmother’s coat. It was an odd thought.
