Sally Engelberg Frishberg, a Holocaust survivor. Sally Engelberg Frishberg's story begins in Urzejowice, a rural Polish village where her family was the only Jewish one. Though antisemitism was present in interwar Poland, her family experienced both camaraderie and isolation within the village. Sally's early life included speaking Polish with playmates and Yiddish at home. However, this changed in 1942 when the Nazis occupied Poland, forcing her family into hiding. They were sheltered by Stashek Grocholski, a Polish neighbor who risked his life to protect them. Sally's narrative includes her time hiding in Stashek's attic and the complex dynamics of gratitude and tension that existed between those being saved and their saviors. After surviving the Holocaust due to the bravery of those who helped her, Sally immigrated to the United States in 1947 She became a high school teacher in Brooklyn and later returned to Poland with her niece. This return trip was documented in the film "Voices from the Attic" and serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of memory and the human spirit.
