I was a Photos by Susan Maldon Stregack forced laborer until 1944, when the ghetto was liquidated and we were sent to Auschwitz and eventually to Dachau. I arrived in the U.S. in 1949, and earned a Ph.D. in neuropharmacology, which brought me to the Food and Drug Administration in Washington, D.C.

I believe we must be sensitive to the upsurge of global anti- Semitism, to remember, and to witness so that others may remember.

Armed with the false papers of a deceased Polish girl, I was smuggled out to a hiding place, only to be thrown out soon afterwards. I found my way to a former maid’s house, where I lived under false papers until January 1944, when the Russian army returned to liberate Eastern Poland. I came to the U.S. with my husband Eugene, raised our sons while working at the National Institutes of Health, and actively participated in Jewish community life. I believe that hatred and prejudice are evil. We must remember the past so that such evil can never happen again. Born February 5, 1928, Dubno, Poland
