Esther Wondolowicz Goldman was a young teenager when the Germans invaded her small Polish town. She learned quickly to depend upon herself. Separated from her large, loving family, she survived the Bialystok ghetto, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and a death march to Ravensbrück before being liberated by the Russian Army. Esther and her family remained in Europe for a decade before immigrating to the United States. The complete story of Esther Wondolowicz Goldman’s Holocaust journey can be found in To Life: The Past Is Present, Holocaust Stories of Hampton Roads Survivors, Rescuers, and Liberators.
