Holocaust Remembrance Day: New Yorkers Share Their Memories
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:01 am

When the German war machine stormed into Poland, 19-year-old Zula Schibuk was sent from her home to Kaiserwald, a concentration camp in Latvia. This is her story.

The Second World War left America a legacy of stories. Many of them belong to New Yorkers, or to the parents and grandparents of the people who make up the great mosaic of the New York tri-state area today. To read more stories like Zula Schibuk’s, or to share your own, visit New York War Stories.
