For many the thought of being able to start anew after the ravages of World War Two were enough to change their name and what they may have done during the dark days of brutal darkness that shrouded Europe, the tyranny, the domination and the suffering, either endured or administered. For many that survived the absolute horrors of the concentration camps and the sickening depravity that humanity can sink to in the death camp of Auschwitz, a change of name was not enough, some had to undergo surgery to wipe away the terrors visited upon their faces and their bodies at the hands of the Nazis, to rise if they could like a Phoenix from the ashes. .
