  • "[1] "K. R. was born in Ternopilʹ (Ukraine) [then Tarnopol, Poland], March 31, 1922. Her father was a businessman. Her family was greatly influenced by Viennese culture. She briefly describes the start of overt anti-Semitism in her schools. She was a member of Hanoar Hatzioni and active in Zionist youth groups in Ternopilʹ and Lwów [then Lv́ov]. In 1940, she and a group of Hanoar Hatzioni members were arrested as they tried to cross the border illegally. K.R. was sent to prison and later transferred to a labor camp near the Arctic Circle. She describes the harsh conditions in the camp and why some of her fellow prisoners did not survive. She was released because she was Polish but given Soviet citizenship and sent to another part of Russia by train. Many strangers helped her during this time."@en
