I had to grow up quickly after being forced to live in the Vilna Ghetto at only 12 years old.  My sister and mother were taken from me, and then my father and I were rounded up and taken to Kaiserwawld. My father went to a death camp and I went to a work camp. I later learned that my mother and sister were taken back to the Vilna Ghetto, and killed when the ghetto was liquidated. I ultimately survived seven different camps and was liberated by the Russians. Eventually, I went to Palestine and lived on a kibbutz and learned to dance. I have four grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Even when I’m not dancing, I move my feet a little bit.
