I was born in Opatow-Kielecki, Poland. When the Nazis came in 1939, I was taken to several labor camps. I was 14 years old. When the ghetto was liquidated in October 1942, the Jews were taken to the death camp, Treblinka. When the Russians advanced, the women and mostly men were taken to Buchenwald, Germany. While in Buchenwald, I worked in caves with ammunition. My older brother was with me. We were both liberated in May, 1945 by the American Army. I speak to students at UCLA about my experience and I hope they will retell my story.
