Germaine Pitchon, 87, was a teenager when her mom and her five sisters were taken from their home in Greece by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz. Her mother and two sets of younger twin sisters died in the gas chamber. Pitchon at 15 was ordered to undergo forced sterilization. Only because a Mengele the “Angel of Deathâ€, overseeing the sterilization program, was called away on an emergency was she later able to have children. "An old Jewish doctor, who performed the sterilization surgery under the threat of death, had removed one of her ovaries and made the incision but did not remove the other ovary," said Pitchon's son Sol." The doctor said to her, 'You will have many children, name one after me.'" She did and her son, Sol Pitchon was the evenings guest speaker.
Sol Pitchon, a Greek Jew was born in Thessalonica, Greece, immigrated to America in 1951 and converted to Christianity in 1981. He is the President and CEO of New Life Solutions in Pinellas County and whose mission is to assist women and men who are experiencing an unplanned and unprepared for pregnancy.
