Sabina Szwarc

Sabina Szwarc grew up in a city southeast of Warsaw. She spoke Polish and Yiddish at home. In 1929 she began public school and later went to a Jewish secondary school. On 9-5-39, their city was taken over by the Germans. After one month, her father had to give up his buisness. Her family was also forced into a ghetto where they shared an appartment with another family. In 1942 her non-jewish friends got sabina and her sister false Polish ID cards. After they escaped and hid in the friend's house for two weeks, they left and went to Germany to work. A german thought she looked jewish, but she just looked offended and continued to work American troops found her on April 27, 1945. In 1950, she immigrated to the U.S and pursued a career as an ophthalmologist.
         
                 She was courageous because she was probably scared  out of her mind but she ESCAPED from the ghetto. She even had the courage to go to the country that was the center of Jewish pain and worked there. In other words, Sabina was a courageous person because she didn't care if she was hurt or killed. She just wanted a good life. She is like Martin Luther King Jr. She just wanted a good life for her and her family
