I was born in July 1940 in Budapest, Hungary. My father died in Buchenwald in 1944, and a total of 30 family members perished in the Holocaust. After being deported, my mother bribed a guard with her wedding band to come back for me. We survived by hiding as Catholic Hungarians until a German soldier almost exposed us. After the war, following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, we fled to Austria. There I met my husband George, and in 1957 we married in Vienna and moved to the U.S., settling in Los Angeles where I worked in real estate before retiring to Santa Barbara.
