Born
Lublin, Poland, 1929
Rose was born to a Polish Jewish family in 1929, and in only a few short years she would lose her father, mother and baby brother to the Nazis.
Rose narrowly escaped execution alongside her mother and brother. After her mother helped her escape, a Polish farmer saved Rose by taking her in and giving her the identity of one of his daughters. What followed were years of hardship and the threat of extermination at the hands of the Nazis and ultimately death for her entire family.
