English
Discover the story of Elliott and Ester Ribak, Holocaust survivors from Lithuania, as told by their daughter Judy Ribak. Married just six weeks before being forced into the Kaunas Ghetto in 1941, they were later separated. Elliott was sent to Dachau, and Ester to Stutthof. Elliott escaped and joined the Italian Underground. After the war, he found Ester’s name on a list of survivors. They reunited in Milan and immigrated to the United States in 1950. This moving tribute honors their survival, reunion, and the life they built together in Dayton, Ohio.
