Eva Galler

Her siblings were shot and killed as they fell out the train, but Galler managed to escape by landing in a deep hole.

Eva Vogel was born on January 1, 1924, in Oleszyce, Poland, a small community where over half of the people were Jews.

He had an international business that distributed religious articles including Torahs and tefillin to France, Belgium, England, the US and other countries across the world.

[8][9] On October 14, 1942, Galler and her family, along with the other Jews in the community, were ordered to leave their homes and taken to the ghetto in Lubaczow.

[12] Galler said in an interview, "my youngest brother was three years old and I still hear him screaming [in Yiddish, his preferred language], 'I want to live, too.

[16] Although they were afraid to help her longer for fear of being caught, one of the women had a young daughter who had recently died.

His own journey of survival in Siberia and later, as a soldier in the Polish division of the Russian army, led him to miraculously find Eva and to smuggle her out of Germany to safety in Sweden.

[21] In 1956, the couple emigrated to the United States, living in New York City for seven years, and then settling in New Orleans.
