Ruth Reif was a Holocaust survivor who endured unimaginable hardships, from her childhood in Poland to surviving the ghettos, Auschwitz, and forced labor camps. Despite losing her entire family and facing profound trauma, she rebuilt her life, creating a home in America and sharing her story to educate others.
Through her granddaughter’s reflections, we learn about Ruth's courage, her struggles with the lasting effects of the Holocaust, and her enduring legacy of resilience. Her story is a poignant reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of preserving history to prevent future acts of hatred.
