    Biography
    Irene Engelman was born in 1917 in Łódź to Chaim Leib Lipnowski (1880-circa 1944) and Masza Lipnowska (nee Beatus, 1890-circa 1944). She married Edmund Engelman and arrived in the United States with him in 1939 on a student visa. Her parents and grandfather, Herman Beatus, were moved to the Łódź Ghetto in 1940 where her grandfather died.
