Barbara Welner (z”l)
Barbara Welner (z”l) was smuggled out of the Lvov ghetto at age 12 by her parents who not survive the Holocaust. Barbara spent more than five years alone and on the run in the Ukraine, Poland, and Germany. After the war she discovered an interest in nursing in a DP camp in Germany. She was transferred to England and attended Wakefield nursing school. She was the valedictorian of her class and the only winner of the top prize in three specialties in the school’s history. Barbara moved to Canada before eventually marrying Nick Welner, himself a Holocaust survivor who became a civil engineer, and moving to Pittsburgh, where a cousin, Cantor Moshe Taube, resided.
