Sally Eisen was born on November 15, 1920, in the town of Rzeszów, Poland. Her parents were Rachel and Berish Eisen, and she had two older brothers, Shimshon and Abraham. Sally's father was a successful businessman, and the family was well-respected in the community.
In September 1939, Germany invaded Poland, and the Eisen family was forced to flee their home. They eventually made their way to the city of Lvov, which had been annexed by the Soviet Union. In 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and Lvov was occupied by German forces.
The Eisen family was sent to the ghetto, where they were forced to live in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. In August 1942, the ghetto was liquidated, and the Eisen family was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Sally and Rachel were gassed the same day, her brothers Abraham and Simshon were killed sometime around the same time, and her father Berish was murdered 11 days later.
It is estimated that over 1.1 million people died at Auschwitz, including 1.057,000 Jews. Sally Eisen is one of the victims of the Holocaust, and her story is a reminder of the atrocities that occurred during this dark period of history.
