Sarah came from a traditional Jewish family. There were three children in the family: Menahem, the eldest, Sari and Hava, the youngest. After the Germans invaded Hungary on 19.3.1944, Sarah lived in a Yellow Star House and was employed with other Jewish women in the removal of rubble. She had contact for the first time with the Zionist underground after the Arrow Cross Party rose to power on 15.10.1944. She received forged papers from underground activists and she, herself, began forging documents by modifying old documents for the Jews living under false names. Sarah engaged in taking children out of the ghetto to the children’s houses which were under the protection of the International Red Cross. After the liberation in January 1945 Sarah worked in a children’s house for Jewish orphans. In 1948 she made aliya. She worked at Yad Vashem and did research on Hungarian Jewry. Sarah published books and many articles about the Holocaust and anti-Semitism. She deals with the “Righteous Gentiles”, rescuers of Hungarian Jews. Sarah resides in Jerusalem.
