Carole Szanto Roth born in Debrecen Hungary. Youngest of 6. 

When the Nazis came to Hungary they put her entire family into a ghetto & soon in a cattle train to Auschwitz. Luckily the USA bombed the tracks to Auschwitz. They diverted the train to a Nazi brick work Concentration camp near Vienna where she was for 9 months. No bathroom. Bathed in the nearby lake when it wasn’t frozen, very little food, she was 85 pounds. But they survived. 

After the war she was in Germany in a DP camp for 4 years waiting for her visa to the USA. In Germany she drove to Italy often, bought cigarettes & sold them in the DP camp. Life was good there. She immigrated to the USA in 1950 & became a citizen. 

She was a hat & hand model in the garment center. 

Mom decided blonds must have more fun.  She dyed her black hair blonde & went to visit Robert, a friend, to show him. His brother Joseph Roth, was there. They met for the first time as a blonde. Blonds do have more fun. They married a few years later. 

My dad Joseph Roth immigrated from Mischolc Hungry before the war in 1939 with his first wife & my half brother. His entire family in Hungary were killed in Auschwitz-Birkenau. 

My mom is grandma to my 2 sons Ryan & Brendan, step grandma to my brothers 4 kids & great grandma to their 11 kids.

there are more photos on fb if you are interested.
