Yom HaShoah: Rosnow, Shelub, and Einstein families
Yom HaShoah is the day of remembrance for the Holocaust committed by the Nazi's during WWII. For Yom HaShoah for 2023, I may have a chance to briefly speak, so I am collecting some materials here. Although both born in pre-war Europe, both my mother, Gina Einsein Rosnow, and father, Morris Rosnow, came to the United States in 1950 through amazingly different paths despite the Nazi's onslaught. My mother was born in Stuttgart, German in 1927. My maternal grandmother, Trude, saw the rise of the Nazis and was a super early mover. She took her family out of Germany to pre-Israel Palestine during the early 1930s before the British shutdown access. My mother and her sister grew up in the German enclave of Nahariya up north near Lebanon. My father and his two older sisters, Mira Shelub, and Sara Rosnow, emerged together from WWII Europe with Mira's husband Normal Shelub and their oldest son, Irwin. They were sponsored to enter the United States by family in Baltimore and Philade
