I agree.Lily Tokarski Virtual Book Lily was born in September 1941 in Krakow, Poland. As a baby she was hidden in Plaszow, a region made infamous in Schindler?s List. Her parents were able to get her to safety with a friend, a woman named Julia Pamula. They themselves were in concentration camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau. Both her parents survived and they were reunited after the war. They lived in a Displaced Persons (DP) camp in Germany from 1945 ? 1947. They then moved to Montreal where the Canadian government welcomed tailors. Her father was a tailor so it was easier to get into Canada than the US. They stayed there until 1955. In September 1955 Lily and her family moved to California.
