MALKA GRUNGOLD
I was born in Bedzin, Poland in 1929 to Abraham (d. 1944) and Fegia (d. 1943) Fereztenfeld.
In 1941 we were forced into the Kamionka ghetto. My father paid money to allow my sister, Sonia, to be taken to Germany for forced labor. My oldest brother Zeno was also working in Germany. In 1942 my mother, my sister, Hannah Rachel, and my two youngest brothers, Outer and Noshe, were sent to Auschwitz where they were killed. My father went to Sasow where he was murdered with a shovel.
From 1942-
A few days before the end of the war, we were marched 50 kilometers a day to avoid the allied armies. One night to keep warm, I slept between two Czech girls. In the morning, they were dead. Only 128 of the 2000 were still alive when the Americans freed us on the road.
In a Displaced Persons camp, I met and married her husband Samuel, also a survivor. We went to Israel in 1949 and came to the U.S. in 1960. We have two children, Fay and Abraham.
