Holocaust Survivor Testimony: Mrs. Sara Seidman

In this Oral History, by Amud Aish Memorial Museum in partnership with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Sara Seidman shares her story. Sara, wife of Dr. Hillel Seidman, was born on August 29, 1922 in Turda, Romania. As a girl she was surrounded by her extensive family and Jewish community, while also witnessing the rise of antisemitism from a young age. After finishing high school in Ukraine, Sara taught in a Bucharest orphanage where everyone was Jewish but disguised as Polish refugees. After the war came to an end, Sara traveled around various parts of Europe, eventually arriving in the Föhrenwald displaced persons (DP) camp, where her mother was a nurse and Sara taught in the Bais Yaakov. While in the DP Camp, Sara saw part of her role as cheering up the children mourning their lost mothers. Sara eventually obtained entry to America, where she settled and had a family.
