A woman recalls how she was thrown from a train headed for a Nazi death camp in 1944, raised by someone who risked her own life to save the baby's, and finally found some peace through her own family.

From 1942 to 1945, secret government trains regularly delivered civilians from the United States and Latin America to Crystal City, a small desert town at the southern tip of Texas. The trains carried Japanese, German, and Italian immigrants and their American-born children to a family internment camp, the only one during World War II. Crystal City was the center of a government exchange program. During the war, hundreds of prisoners, including their children, were exchanged for ostensibly more important Americans---diplomats, businessmen, soldiers, physicians, and missionaries that were behind enemy lines in Japan and Germany.
