Elizabeth “Suzie” Wilf remembers having nowhere else to hide from the Germans. Aunts, uncles, cousins, a grandmother, friends she went to school with, all had been led away, never to be seen again.
“When the Germans came, the Jews were put in the ghetto, an encircled barrier,” she said. “From time to time, the Germans would come in and do a roundup. My parents decided it eventually would happen to us.”
Suzie is mother to Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf. In 1943, she was a child living with parents Markus and Miriam Fisch and younger brother Erwin in Lvov, Poland.
