Myrna Sandler was born on December 17, 1927 in Lutsk, Poland. She lived there with her brother, Ben Gerstein, and their parents, Shea and Bayla. When the Nazis invaded Eastern Poland in 1941, they were forced out of their home into the city ghetto. From there, a Polish farmer named Mr. Jarmoszko and his family hid them in a haystack from the fall of 1942 to the winter of 1943. After that, for almost one year, a Czech farmer named Mr. Cepek and his family hid them in the attic of his barn and also in a wooden bunker buried under the ground. Because of these extraordinary people, Myrna and her family survived the Holocaust. Following their liberation, they spent three years in a displaced persons camp in Germany. Myrna and Ben’s father, Shea, died of a massive stroke after helping to save his whole family. Myrna, Ben and their mother Bayla immigrated to Toronto in 1948. They worked hard, rebuilt their lives and had families of their own. Myrna’s history is shared by her niece and nephew, Francine Gerstein and Josh Gerstein. Myrna’s history is also Francine/Josh's father Ben’s history. Recently, Francine managed to make contact with the Cepek's (great) granddaughter, Alena. Their presentation includes an interview with Alena, who reads from her grandmother’s memoir about the day the Gersteins arrived at their door. Francine is a medical doctor, business owner, advisor, and editor. She graduated with honours from the University of Toronto Medical School and completed a residency in Family Medicine after obtaining her Bachelor of Arts with honours from the University of Western Ontario. Josh runs his own investment and advisory firm in Toronto. He obtained M.B.A. and J.D. degrees from the University of Toronto, after graduating with a B.A. (majoring in Statistical Sciences) from the University of Western Ontario.
