Born in 1926 to Piroska Weiss (1905-1945) and Hugo Rosenberger (1894-1944), she was transported by the Nazis to Auschwitz in 1944 and later Bergen-Belsen in 1945. She was the sole survivor of her family. Her sister, Judith (1925-1942) died in Auschwitz in 1942 after being one of the first Jews transported from Bratislava. Her father was transported in Auschwitz in 1944 and her mother died the day after Belsen was liberated by the British on 15 April 1945. She and her husband John Horak emigrated to Australia in 1947 and established the ''Hibodress'' garment factory. In 2000 she wrote her memoirs ''Auschwitz to Australia.'' REFERENCES
