Learning in Religion about... i cant remember which topic there was a story very similar. There was a priest who swapped places with a young father because he thought the fact that he had kids made him more deserving of life than himself, so the priest sacrificed himself to the gas chamber. I think his name was Montgomery or something long like that xd He was in my year 9 textbook.
But yeah, i wouldn't have had the heart to choose. I can't say whether she made the right decision. Also I don't think giving up her life instead of her children was an option. Soooo idk what i would have done. Choosing between your two children is wrong, but at the same time so is choosing to let them both die, so there was no right decision. If I were in her shoes I would have probably either not chosen any or picked the daughter because she is younger and too young to die, her brother had more years of life. If I were the brother I would have made the sister live and myself hit the gas chambers tbh. But I can't really talk seeing as I have obviously never been in that situation.
