28 April 1930 | Jona Laks was born in Lodz, Poland

In 1944, Jona, her twin sister Miriam, and their elder sister Chana were deported to #Auschwitz. Both of their parents died in the War.

Jona survived. Today is her 92nd birthday. Please join us in wishing her a wonderful day!
Jona was 9 years old when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939. Jews were to identify themselves with a yellow badge and could not be on the street after 5pm. They were not allowed to attend school. Signs in all social places read, "Jews and dogs are not permitted to enter."
Jona's mother died of a heart attack shortly after the German invasion, and Jona and the rest of her family entered the Lodz Ghetto. In January 1942, the "final solution," the elimination of all Jews, was put forth. Thus began the liquidation of the ghetto.
