Fran Malkin was born in Sokal, near Lvov, Poland in 1938.  In spring 1941, Germany invaded Poland. When they came into Sokal, 400 Jewish men, including Fran’s father, were taken to a brick factory and shot. Fran was two years old.

In the fall of 1942, her remaining family went into hiding. They were among sixteen people who were hidden for two years in the hayloft of a barn by Francisca Halamajowa.

Hear Fran tell her remarkable story followed by Q&A.
