Sara Lewin

Sara was born in Budesti in the Transylvanian Alps of Romania and was caught up in the Holocaust with her family. She survived Auschwitz with two of her sisters, Hannah and Etta, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1949. She was a fighter. As the strongest of the three sisters, she fought to survive and save her sisters by sharing her meager daily ration with them at the end of each day. She was a consummate homemaker, wonderful cook, and smart businesswoman, managing an apartment building with her husband and sister’s children.

Beloved wife of her surviving husband Harvey Lewin. Beloved aunt of Sally Cohen and Richard Robbins of Portsmouth, NH; Herb Auerbach and Lisa Flaherty of Jenkintown, PA; Steven Auerbach of Brighton; Chaya Vadel and the late Eli Vadel of Hadera, Israel; and Tova and Asher Morgenstern of Hadera, Israel.
