Susan Pollack, originally Zsuzsanna Blau, is a remarkable individual who has lived a life marked by both tragedy and resilience, as a Hungarian/British Holocaust survivor.
Under the direction of the notorious SS officer Adolf Eichmann, the Nazis and their Hungarian collaborators meticulously orchestrated the deportation of Hungarian Jews, a task that was completed in a remarkably short period of time, spanning less than two months from mid-May 1944.
As a result of this brutal campaign, nearly all Jews in Hungary were deported, predominantly to the notorious Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, where Susan Pollack and her family were forcibly sent by cattle train.
Following the war, Susan Pollack found herself in Sweden, where she spent some time before eventually relocating to Canada, where she would go on to meet and marry another fellow survivor, a union that would provide her with a sense of comfort and companionship in the years that followed.
