Alice Eichenbaum

Born in Vienna, Austria, a daughter of the late Herman and Clara (Diamant), she grew up and attended school in Sofia, Bulgaria. In 1943 she and her family were expelled from Sofia to a Jewish ghetto along the Turkish border where they remained for a year and a half.

Alice met her future husband, Raymond, while studying to earn her PhD in chemistry at Graz Technical University in Austria following World War II. They went on to settle and raise a family in Rhode Island. Together, the Eichenbaums and other survivors helped found the Rhode Island Holocaust Museum, now the Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center. Alice was a chemist at Providence Metalizing for many years before retiring and enjoyed volunteering at the Roger Williams Park and Zoo following her retirement.

A longtime member of Temple Emanu-El in Providence, Alice enjoyed reading, traveling and watching the Red Sox. Alice especially loved spending time with her family and was known for her wonderful cooking and baking skills.
