It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Feiga Rozenblat (Yonkers, New York), who passed away on September 30, 2022, at the age of 100, leaving to mourn family and friends. She was born on August 15, 1922, in the city of Chisinau in Bessarabia, a province of Romania that later became a part of the former Soviet Union, now Moldova.
Feiga’s youth was interrupted by the World War II during which she became a holocaust survivor. After the war she studied medicine and became a physician practicing Psychiatry for 30 years, while becoming a widow and alone raising her children and supporting her surviving parents. At the age of 53 she immigrated to the USA in New York City with her remaining family starting a new life and a career as an ultrasound technician retiring from the Montefiore/ North Central Bronx Hospital after 15 years of service.
She spoke many languages, loved travelling, arts, operas, needle pointing, crocheting and following the world affairs. Feiga’s thoughtfulness, sharp mind, humor, and world’s knowledge made a special impression on the people who had met her. She was loved and cherished by many friends and people including her family: her sons, Michael and Benjamin, her daughter-in-law Mirna; her four grandchildren Roman, Roni, Jamin and Maris and three great grandchildren Danny, Maya and Noah.
In lieu of flowers, please direct your donations in her memory to the Holocaust Survivor Fund at the Westchester Jewish Community Services, Attention: Allison Danzig, Coordinator of Holocaust Survivor Services 845 North Broadway White Plains, New York 10603 [email protected]
