  1. Lilli Tauber March 13, 1927-Present Day

  2. Lilli was around 11 years old during WW2, and lived with her father and mother and brother. Before things got too bad Lilli’s parents sent her off to England until the war was over. Her older brother fled to Israel, and her parents stayed in Austria and were sent to a ghetto in Poland still being able to communicate with Lilli through letters. All of a sudden the letters stopped and she never heard from her parents again. To this day she has no clue what extermination camp they were sent to to be killed. Lilli came back to Austria to find everything she once had gone, except for one little black suitcase which contained hundreds of pictures of her family and of life in the ghetto where her mother and father were. The suitcase also contained every single letter she ever wrote or received from her father during the war. Soon after she met her husband and they married and had two sons. Lilli was interviewed in 2003 of her experience during the war.
