In March 1944, Rachel’s family was transferred to the Ghetto and from there she was sent on a train to Auschwitz-Birkenau.  She was in Auschwitz for a while, and was subsequently moved from camp to camp until she was brought to a work camp near Breslau.  In this camp, she worked for approximately six months in a weapons factory.  When the Russian troops approached, the prisoners were led on a Death March to Bergen-Belsen.  Rachel was in Bergen-Belsen until the liberation of the camp on April 15, 1945. 

She immigrated to Israel in 1950 and chose to live in Jerusalem, where she still resides today.  Rachel married Joseph Fox, and they have one daughter and one grandchild, Corporal Nirit Fuchs who is accompanying her grandmother on this journey.
