A Long Island family made a very special donation to the Holocaust Museum and Tolerance Center of Nassau County - a clock that not only tells time, but also a story.

The mantel clock that was proudly displayed in the dining room of a Parisian home back in the 1930s represents a moment in time when Rosette Gerbosi says her life was perfect.

"I remember we had a large dining room table, and I would take my doll carriage and walk around the table listening to the chime," she says.

But she and her family's happy life was quickly destroyed when the Nazis invaded France - and their Parisian home was ransacked.
