Rose Girone, Oldest Known Holocaust Survivor, Dies at 113
Rose Girone, the oldest known Holocaust survivor at 113, passed away Monday. Born in 1912, she endured persecution under both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, escaping to Shanghai with her family before eventually immigrating to the United States. Her remarkable resilience, forged through hardship and loss, inspired her daughter and countless others. Girone’s knitting provided both sustenance and a source of strength throughout her extraordinary life.
