Santa Clarita is home to many Jewish people, and their heritage and life stories add to the cultural richness of our valley. But Newhall resident Erika Schwartz has a particularly important life story to share.

Born in Hungary in 1944, Schwartz is the youngest Holocaust survivor still living in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Because she was an infant, Schwartz has no personal memories of World War II, but the stories told to her by her mother about their life back then are poignant and powerful.
