Autorenporträt

Born in Warsaw, Irene and her family escaped from the Nazis in 1939 to Soviet Ukraine and later to Uzbekistan. Irene's memoir chronicles growing up during these troubled times and her life after the war. She tragically lost her parents and little sister. Her teenage sister saved her from illness. Eventually, she spent several years in Uzbekistan and in Polish orphanages before immigrating to Israel where, while in the army, she studied nursing. In 1959, she traveled on a nursing exchange visa to New York where she worked as a surgical nurse. She got married, started a family, moved to Berea, Ohio, and finally settled in Northbrook, Illinois. She is blessed with four children and nine grandchildren. Irene's wish is peace and justice for all. She continues to dedicate her life to that goal.
