Holocaust survivor Rachel (Rae) Goldfarb as a teenager (courtesy of Rachel Goldfarb) and as an adult, today. US Holocaust Memorial Museum
Rachel (Rae) Goldfarb was 10 years old when the Nazis occupied her Polish hometown. They forced Jews into a small area designated as a ghetto, which included Rae’s family home. Fearing for their safety after mass killings began, Rae’s mother hid the family behind a double wall between their home and what had been the warehouse of the fabric business they were forced to close.
Learn about Rae’s experiences as a Jewish girl under Nazi occupation and how her mother’s quick thinking helped them escape from two ghettos and later join a group of partisan fighters.
