NOTES : Sara Zyskind was born in Lodz in 1927 to a a well-known Jewish family of in­dus­tri­al­ists. At the age of 12, she and her family were forced to live in the Lodz ghetto. Her mother died in 1940. She and her father mutually supported each other during the following years, successfully evading arrest and de­porta­tion, until he died during the Passover of 1943. Upon the "liquidation" of the Ghetto, at the age of 16, Zyskind was deported to Auschwitz in August 1944, and from there to other labor camps. After liberation she emigrated to Palestine, where she lived ever after.
