Having grown up in the resort town of Zakopane, Poland, Anna Duklauer Perl’s comfortable life was quickly upended when the Nazis invaded and remanded her and her family to the Krakow Ghetto. She was eventually sent to the Plaszow concentration camp when a miracle struck, and Anna’s name was added to Oskar Schindler’s list of 1200 Jews who served as slave labor in his factories. The only person in her immediate family to survive the Holocaust, Anna eventually made her way from Poland to Czechoslovakia to Israel and eventually the United States. The complete story of Anna Duklauer Perl’s Holocaust journey can be found in To Life: The Past Is Present, Holocaust Stories of Hampton Roads Survivors, Rescuers, and Liberators.
