Life
[change | change source]Rutka Laskier was born Rut Laskier on 12 June 1929 in Kraków, Poland, the eldest of two children. Her mother was a housewife, whilst her father Jakub Laskier, worked as a bank officer.
In late 1939, the Germans invaded Poland.
Year-old Rutka Laskier kept a diary of her hopes, her dreams and her disappointments.
When the Germans eventually reached Kraków, the family escaped to Będzin, a nearby city, from where her father's family originally came from.
The Germans reached Będzin too, shortly after, and after the Polish surrendered to the Germans, the Germans began occupying the country.
A few months later, all the Jews from Będzin were deported to a concentration camp, which was located near the city.
