During World War II, with the occupation of France by Germany, the Miller family realized that they had to flee their city of Antwerp from the oppressive oppressor. They decided to flee to Switzerland, which was a neutral country, and the family agreed with a smuggler who knew the escape route, paid him a considerable sum of money, and in turn arranged the forged documents. Before escaping, the smuggler ordered them not to take luggage with them, but only a handbag, so that they would not be suspected of fleeing.
They traveled by train, their father, mother and four children, and by the grace of God, they crossed the first border crossing. Then the smuggler told them to give him the small bag they had packed and explained, "I'm doing this for your safety so that the border guards won't suspect you." The father of the family handed him the file, and by the grace of God, they also passed the tests safely and crossed the border. To their surprise, however, the smuggler did not arrive, he remained at the border crossing with the bag. The smuggler was sure that all the property of the family he had smuggled was found in the bag, for it is the way of the world that the smugglers sell their property and buy diamonds and gold in it. But the man did not know that there was a treasure in the bag that was worth more to the Miller family than silver and gold...
When the smuggler returned to France through the border crossing, the German soldiers asked him, "What's in your bag?" The man opened the bag and in the bag a tallit and tefillin. The guards shot him on the spot, without question, they were sure he was a Jew!
