Several European Jews lost their lives during World War 2 during the tragic events of the Holocaust, which resulted in large-scale persecution of Jews. Recently, WWE legend Paul Heyman shared that his late mother, Sulamita, is a Holocaust survivor. He detailed her life during World War 2 and also shared how she lived her life after she survived.
Heyman said, “And so the men had stayed, they figured if we stay, we have to fight, we die. We can’t oppose that army. But listen, everything’s gonna be okay, there’s civil occupiers. Who would have thought that this cultured civilization from you know, was going to kill women and children, which is what? So the men left, and the women stayed.”
He added, “Everybody was in hiding. By the time she got on the train to Auschwitz. 13 of her cousins had starved to death. My mother was born in (19)27. And she got she was on the train to Auschwitz in August (19)44. My mother’s mother and my mother’s sister who was seven went straight to the gas chambers.”
His mother reached Auschwitz and was a part of the march from Auschwitz to Bergen Belsen. She was liberated in Bergen Belsen on April 15, 1945.
Heyman’s mother was reunited with her uncle who brought her to Canada. From Canada, she migrated to the US through the highest Hebrew Immigration Aid Society.
