Biography
Dora Levy was born on January 3, 1928, to Sarina (Perahia) and Salomon Izhak Levy. She was raised in Salonika (Thessalonikē), Greece. In 1942, the Levy family was forced to relocate to one of the ghettos that the Germans had established in Salonika. After being warned of the impending deportations to Auschwitz, the Levys went into hiding in Athens in 1943. They remained there until 1946 when they were finally able to return to Salonika. In 1947, Dora married Salomon Saltiel, a childhood friend who had been a prisoner of war during World War II. The couple emigrated to the United States in 1955.
