Paula Leibovics was born on September 25, 1933 in Ostrowiec, Poland. Paula grew up with her five older siblings and parents, but sadly, her father and two sisters were killed during the Holocaust. When the War started, Paula was just six years old.  During the Holocaust, Paula was sent to Auschwitz, and was there for six months; she was only 10. She was liberated by the Russians on January 27, 1945.   Paula immigrated to Detroit in the United States with her mother when she was 18 years old but now lives in California along with her two kids.

Paula was interviewed for this project via Skype by Kaitlyn Balter on January 30, 2017.
