- Notes
- Her father, Samuel Rothstein, was the editor of "Dos Jidisze Togbłat" and the author of many books. Her mother, Gołda (Gienia), had a clothing shop at 35 Brukowa Street. Regina had three siblings. In the ghetto, they lived at 10 Pawia Street. Regina attended clandestine classes in the ghetto and tailoring and dressmaking courses at an ORT vocational school [Organisation for the Development of Industrial, Craft and Agricultural Skills among the Jewish Population in Poland]. On 6 September 1942, during the "Miła deportation action", the Frank family, including her mother, Regina and her siblings, found an empty flat and moved into it. While her mother, grandfather Naftali and sister Roma were absent from the flat, the rest of the family was deported. They were killed in Treblinka. According to another account, in 1939 her father, Szmuel, wanted to take the family out of Poland. When her mother refused, her father left for Palestine alone via Białystok and Vilnius, arriving there in 1941. In autumn 1940, her mother and the children were confined in the Warsaw Ghetto. In September 1942, the family received certificates permitting them to emigrate to Palestine. By that time, the three younger children had already been deported to Treblinka, where they were killed. Their mother met the same fate in January 1943.
