The Ginsburg Family
Survivors were liberated on May 1st, 1945. Ibi had admitted she felt guilty of surviving. After the war Ibi went to work at a hospital to help fellow survivors near Dachau where she met Val from Lithuania in November 1945. Val said the meeting was a turning point for both of them, where they fell in love, and decided to start a new life for themselves. It was 1946 when they had gotten married. Both of them didn't want to move back to their hometowns so they moved to Munich. Munich is where Val had been working as a radio technician. A few years later the post-war Britain was looking for minors, domestics and textile workers. Ibi and Val had gotten permits to go work as textile workers in England. The Ginsburgs settled in Elland. Val worked as a weaver and Ibi worked as a burner and mender. Val say's he had pleasant memories of arriving in England.
Ibi and Val had two daughters, Pauline and Amanda. Pauline and Amanda grew up without an extended family because of the terrible event, the Holocaust, and they always had wondered why they never had grandparents. Ibi and Val told them why when they were about 14 years old. Ibi and Waldemar made sure they kept their 3 grandchildren (Sam, Jake, and Amy) educated about the Holocaust, along with the following generations. The Ginsburgs had visited different schools trying to inspire tolerance among young people and point out how privileged they are to live in a stable democracy, before they had both passed.
