Sc88

I was born in Satu Mare, Romania on June 12, 1926. I was an only child to loving parents. In 1940, the Nazis closed my father’s business. I was fortunate to finish high school and graduate in April 1944. Then in May, we were forced into the ghetto. Two weeks later, we were taken to Auschwitz. My mother and grandmother were killed immediately. I survived the selection. Around October, I was sent to Schlesiersee, and then on a Death March. Only nine of the two thousand girls survived. In 1946, I married and we had a son. My husband died at age sixty-one. Please don’t be prejudiced.
