I was born May 20, 1924 in Berehove, Czechoslovakia, the youngest of six children. In the spring of 1944, at the age of 20, me and my family were taken to live in the ghetto. After six weeks, we were transported in cattle cars to Auschwitz where my parents, aunts, and cousins were exterminated. The Americans liberated me in 1945 when I was 21 years old. At 22, I emigrated to NYC with a broken heart and soul. In order to make a success of my life, I had to learn to forgive my enemies and not dwell on the past. I want my children to know to be loved by others is wonderful, but to give love to others is far more rewarding.
