- Rose Schwartz (born Rivke Fiszbaum) is the daughter of Shmuel Matis Fiszbaum (b. 1896) and Basia Serla Fiszbaum (b. 1899). She was born on October 25, 1924 in Kozienice Poland where her father was a shoe manufacturer. Rivke was the middle of five children. She had two older brothers David Baruch (b. May 5, 1919) and Itzhak (b. June 4, 1922) and two younger sisters Sara Scendle (b. December 29, 1926) and Chanah Broocher b. 1933. Her youngest sister Chanah passed away as a young child before the war in 1937. Rivke remained in Kozienice until September 1942. During the ghetto she worked cleaning homes. In 1942 she was sent to Skarzysko Kamienna and remained there until July 1944. There she worked in the ammunition factory. She then was sent to Leipzig Germany where she worked in another ammunitions factory until her liberation in May 1945. Rivke's father and siblings Itzhak and Sara also survived. However, her mother and oldest brother David perished in the Holocaust. After the war she went to the Feldafing displaced persons camp where she met Abram Saul Schwartz. They married on January 8, 1946.
