Hand-drawn Monopoly recalls life in ghetto

Jerusalem (CNN) -- Micha and Dan Glass are not your ordinary Monopoly players.

In 1938 the two young brothers were happy school children. They lived with their parents in the Czech city of Brno.

Their mother was a photographer who liked to document the family's life in photos, and their father an electrical engineer who enjoyed taking his boys skiing.

The idyllic life of the Glass family was to be shattered a year later with the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia.

"Before (the) war it was normal living. And then the war came and a completely different world. You can't understand it. Everything changed," Dan recalls.

Both of the boys parents were arrested. Their father was sent to a forced labor camp, and their mother detained and tortured for six months.
