I was born in 1919 in Komarno, Czechoslovakia, where my Hungarian family ran a textile business, until our lives were shattered when the Germans occupied Hungary in 1944. My parents, sisters and I were betrayed while working in fields to avoid deportation and sent to Auschwitz, where my sister Lily and I survived brutal labor camps, a death march through winter snow, and moments where my life hung by a thread. After liberation, I returned to find my brothers and fiancé Leslie had survived, and we married after eight years of separation, finally reuniting after unimaginable horrors.
