Ghetto
Sonia Kaplan was born in eastern Poland, in Wlodzimierz Volynski. In 1941, when Sonia was eleven, her town was occupied by the Nazis. Sonia was rescued twice in the ghetto. She eventually escaped to the forest where she joined the Russian partisans.
At the end of WW II, at fifteen, Sonia was the only survivor of her family. Sonia immigrated to the United States, to Atlantic County, first operating a chicken farm and later managing businesses and hotels. Sonia has two daughter, Gloria and Ellen, and one son, David. She has written her memoir, “My Endless War, My Shattered Dreams.”
