First Person with Rita Rubinstein, June 20, 2019

Through the First Person program, Holocaust survivors have the opportunity to share their remarkable personal stories of hope, tragedy, and survival with thousands of visitors at the Museum. This program was recorded on June 20, 2019. It features Rita Rubinstein, who was born in Văscăuti, Romania, on December 12, 1936. In August 1941, Romanian authorities deported her and her family to Transnistria, where they were placed in the Shargorod ghetto. They were liberated by Soviet forces in early 1944.

Beautiful, gracious woman! Her final comments & encouragement to "do the right thing" are valuable beyond measure. She values freedom, as a teacher myself I greatly admire her inspiration & love for teaching others to have sincere gratitude & respect for our country & for the blessings of freedom.
