User Comments:
We also found Nelly Kurianski on a Google search. She came up as a contributor for the book The Jewish Women of Ravensbrück Concentration Camp by Rochelle G. Saidel. In the Appendix of this book, she was listed as living in Sarasota, Florida.

Also, we found a Michel Kurianski on the Social Security Death Index and in the USC Shoah Foundation Institute who we assume was her husband. He was born in Lodz, Poland on August 5, 1919 and went into hiding in Aachen, Germany. They lived together in Barnstable, MA and he died July 20, 2005.

You can listen to both of their survivor testimonies through the USC Shoah Foundation Institute.
