A war breaks out and he is called up to serve. He is sent abroad, never to return.Husband is the captain of a ship. He leaves home for a long journey at sea. Wife does not join him. The ship sinks and nobody aboard survives.Husband goes on a business trip abroad. Wife stays at home. Husband does not return when he is scheduled to. Nobody hears from him again.Husband and Wife are separated during the Holocaust. Wife survives but is unable to locate Husband.Years pass. Wife gets on with her life.
