Children's homes, one alter the other. All of this moving was done by an organization which Beale remembers only as the OSE. She has never heard of this organization since but is well aware of the part it played in saving her life. The OSE kept the children mov ing around to protect them from the Gestapo. Beate’s name was changed to Beatrice and she was told never to speak anything but French. If questioned, she was told to say she was born in Paris at such and such address which she had memorized. But she nev er remained very long in one place. Bate in 1942 she was sent to one Jewish Children’s home and it was here that the first bit of happiness found its way to this young girl. While in the convent, a little girl, about 7 years old approached her with sume blank ets in her arm. They stared into each other’s eyes, something tell ing them they were sisters. The tears, each holding the other tightly—these things they both re member. Beatrice also remem bers her sister becoming very ill, and of the surgery performed on her, and later her illness from tuberculosis. All during this time, Beatrice nursed and cared for her. Shortly afterwards they were sent to another convent which was on a farm and they had their first taste of butter. How they used to dream of butter, bread milk so they did not know what milk so they did not known what it was like. They were on this farm long enough to recover some semblance of health and then were returned to the first convent ana mm mute uuiuco. Finally, in May, 1945, the war was over and the gills had their first knowledge that someone still cared for them. The OSE ad vertised in a newspaper in the Yiddish language and this paper went to Israel, New York City and London. Their grandmother, about 69 years old, read this an nouncement in the paper in Is rael: “Beate and Susan Stern are looking for any living rela tive. Please contact OSE organi zation.’’ She got in touch with the girls and shortly afterwards, they heard from aunts and uncles in London and New York City. They went to England where they stayed with their father’s brother for two years. The two sisters, then 14 and 11 years of age, came to America in 1947 and stayed with an uncle and alant in New York City. It was there Beatrice attended high school— it was also there she met a young boy, Bob Pappenheimer. They grew up together and soon after graduation, were married and came to O’Neill on their honey moon. After a little moving around. Bob and Beatrice returned to O’ Neill wnere he manages the New Outlaw and Beatrice tends their four beautiful children. Hose Ann, Jeany, Debby and Nancy To see this young women in her lovely home—so poised, gracious and contented, it is hard to rea lize the childhood she didn’t have and the homelife and love she never knew. She tells her story, not for sympathy, bat because she and her husband feel the world is struggling for peace and perhaps in some small way, her storv mieht helD.
