Rebecka Rivka Friedman

My mother, Becky (Rivka, née Sterling), was born and raised in Denmark. She was the granddaughter of Yocheved Sterling (Szterling), the sister of the Chidushei HaRim, the first Gerrer Rebbe.
She and her parents were rescued from deportation during the fateful Rosh Hashanah of 1943 when their Danish neighbors rowed them to safety under the noses of the Germans. My maternal grandparents found shelter in Sweden, and my parents were married shortly before the war ended. [https://www.amimagazine.org/2020/12/23/my-fathers-dying-wish/]
