David and Eva Bross were two Holocaust survivors who endured and survived the second world war. As Polish Jews during the Holocaust, David Bross lost his wife and four children, and Eva Bross lost her husband and two children, before immigrating to Canada following the war. Their sole son, Alon Bross, is a close friend of my family.
