Anny (right) and her sister Lotte dressed up for Purim in Austria before the war. #HolocaustRememberanceDay #Documentary

Anny Junek survived the Holocaust. Her parents did not. She was born in 1921 in Wolfsberg, Austria, where her family were the only Jews in their town. #HolocaustMemorialDay

On high holidays, her family would take a two hour taxi to a neighboring town with about 40 Jewish families and a synagogue. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Anny in the rocking chair with her sister and cousin.

"I had a teacher," Anny said years later. "I know she was a bit Nazi but she liked me very much and she was also my piano teacher. After the war, she apologized to me." #HolocaustMemorialDay

Anny moved to Vienna to study dressmaking and design but after only two years, she had to flee with her parents to Czechoslovakia. That's where she met her future husband. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Anny's sister left to the Mexico and she stayed with plans to immigrate to Palestine. Her and her new husband boarded a boat to Palestine with 700 others but after three weeks the boat was stopped and sent back. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Anny and her husband escaped together to Budapest in 1942 where they lived undocumented and they worked in a doll factory until a co-worker denounced them to the police. They were both arrested and separated. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Anny was sent to a camp near Budapest and then survived Bergen-Belsen. She did not know her husband's fate. Her parents were taken to Auschwitz in 42 and killed. Anny said, "They never arrived, I think they went directly to the gas." #holocaustmemorialday

Anny was desperately looking for her husband. He was searching for her too. He put out a call for her on the radio in Budapest which Annys friend heard by chance. The two were reunited after the war. #holocaustmemorialday

They moved to Mexico together where they lived for nearly 40 years, before she immigrated to Israel. She was a joyous, stubbornly positive, light hearted great-grandmother who loved dressing up every chance she could get. She passed away on June 11, 2016. #holocaustmemorialday
