About Tauba Biterman
Tauba Biterman (née Fuks; September 10, 1917 or 1918, differing sources – November 11, 2019) was a Holocaust survivor from Zamość, Poland. She dedicated her life to teaching and sharing memories of the Holocaust. Her speeches painted a realistic portrait of what a Jewish girl from Poland went through between 1939 and 1945. Biterman's story differs from the stories of most other Jewish Holocaust survivors because she was forced to abandon her identity during the war years, live an underground existence, and never was in a Concentration Camp. She was in the Dubno ghetto in Volhynia, but managed to escape with the help of a non-Jewish man she knew. During the period of 1939–1945, she was separated from her family and entirely removed from Jewish life. == Biography == === 1917–1939 === Biterman was born and raised in Zamość, Poland, the oldest daughter of a cap maker. When she was 18, she, her parents and her five younger siblings fled their home for what is now Ukraine, thinking life there would be better for Jews. === 1939–1945 === Believing they would be able to continue to see her, Biterman's family left her in what is now Ukraine because she had a job. Meanwhile, they went to a different part of the former Soviet Union.
