    Gail (originally Gitla) Fridling is the daughter of Abe (Avram Aba Itzak Noah) Fridling (12/271917 in Chelm) and Ann (Chana, Andzia) Altman Fridling (b. 3/16/1917, in Klwow (in Opoczino Province). Gitla was born in Lodz on October 18, 1944. Her older brother Joseph Zev was born March 9, 1942. Abe worked as a furrier in Lodz before the war. The entire family survived together in hiding. After the war, they moved to the Schlachtensee displaced persons camp in Berlin. During the blockade of Berlin, the family was airlifted to Landsberg in August 1948. They stayed there for a year before immigrating to the United States aboard the marine transport the General Haan. After arriving in the States they first lived in Vineland, NJ where Gail’s parents owned a poultry farm. Her two younger brothers David and Barry were born in Vineland. In 1965 Abe and Ann moved to Washington. Though Gail and her immediate family survived the Holocaust, all four of Gail’s grandparents Bella and Zev Fridling and Esther Leah and Avrahm David Altman perished, as well as two great grandmothers Ruchel Fajiel and Shava Fridling and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
