In Grade School I saw a film on the Holocaust for the first time. I somehow knew I had been there. Amazing for a young girl under 10.
I have an image that has always come to me awake or asleep of a young adult maybe 19 sitting among dead people. I know I am very ill, cholera. I pass and yet I want my life back so badly. I never had a chance.
I was very desperate to have my life back, I made a bad choice of parents; that did not seem to bother me. I returned in 1953.
My name was Ada Schoen.
In 1997 I met a man from Ukraine. It was like we had known each other for years and we fell in love.
We were in a small "antique" shop in a Gold Country town in No. Calif. when he reached down and put a WW2 German helmet on his head. I nearly fainted. I acted quite out of character when I began yelling "Take it off, take it off". People were staring.
I had never told this man about my reincarnation, I was afraid to.
We married, years passed when one day he came to me and told me of this dream that he was a guard in a camp and I was there a prisoner. That's when I told him of Ada.
As the years passed our relationship became strained for reasons both of us could not figure out and after 15 years of marriage he moved away.
I think I was in a camp with mostly women and I was worked to death.
Whenever I see a movie or program about the camps I know I have been there. I saw a movie on Sobibor and knew I had also been there.
The Polish and Ukrainian food my husband liked I immediately loved and I am a picky eater. Going to the specialty shops I knew what I wanted. Even now I still make these foods and took a friend of mine into Columbus where they have Russian stores and we purchased all sorts of things to bring back to our small town. One would think this food would make me sad because my husband is gone but I enjoy it so much.
Thank you for reading this. I have not told many people about this, I'm afraid they will think I am crazy. I'm quite sane and am so glad I found this site. Again Thank you!
