Biography
Tova was born in Krakow, Poland in 1933, the youngest of three children. In 1941, Tova and her family were ordered to the Krakow Ghetto, where they stayed there until the end of the year and from there they were deported to Plaszow. In 1943 Tova and her mother were taken to Auschwitz. Tova’s father died in Mauthausen.
Tova (11 years of age at the time) lied upon her age (she claimed to be 17) and survived the selections. From Auschwitz she was sent to Bergen-Belsen, where she was liberated on April 5, 1945.
