Myra Genn
Myra Herbst Genn, a psychotherapist, was among very few children from her town in Poland to survive the Holocaust. Together with her mother and an aunt, she fled from the ghetto to a neighboring farm where they were hidden by a Catholic family for nearly a year. In 1948, she and her mother emigrated to the US and rejoined her mother’s only surviving brother. In 1996, Myra was able to reconnect with the children of her rescuers to have them honored as “Righteous Among Nations.”
