Scary Lucky: A Grandma's Story of Survival 

Ann Preis Green was born in 1925 in Neunkirchen, Austria. She went into hiding when she was 16, in 1941, and was sent to Auschwitz at the end of 1944. She was liberated from the work camp Salzwedel in 1945 and went back to Vienna until her mother’s cousin organized her immigration to the United States. After meeting her future husband, Jack Green, on the subway, they settled in Queens where they had three children. When Ann passed away in 2020 at 95 years old, she had seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Those who knew and loved her miss her infectious laugh, sense of humor, and mandelbrot.
