I was born in 1921 in Dombrowa Gorniche, Poland, where my father owned a tailor shop. I went to accounting school before the Germans invaded in 1939. I worked sewing uniforms for the Germans, hoping this would keep me from being shipped to Germany. In 1942, the women were gathered up and taken to Grunberg to work 12-hour night shifts weaving blankets. In winter 1945, I was forced on a five-month Death March all the way to France. I was rescued by French POWs and treated in an American field hospital. I weighed 77 pounds when I arrived. I was reunited with my fiancé, and we were married in 1947.
