About the author
Born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1932, she was still a child when Germany invaded Poland. She and her family fled east, were stranded in the no man’s land between occupied Poland and the Soviet Union, and were later deported to Siberian labor camps before continuing their struggle to survive in Uzbekistan.
Those experiences became the basis of her memoir, Into No Man’s Land: A Historical Memoir, a book that focuses on a part of the Holocaust and wartime displacement that is less widely known. In her talks and writing, she emphasizes not only survival, but also the human cost of hatred, prejudice, and indifference.
Later in life, she became a speaker and educator, sharing her story with schools, libraries, universities, and community groups. Her work is centered on remembrance, tolerance, and resilience, making her an author whose life story carries as much force as the book itself.
