Pauline was born September 8, 1925 in Paris, France. She loved Paris. Tragically, Pauline was taken by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz. She was freed on May 9, 1945, which became a special day for her. Soon after, she met her husband, Nick, to whom she was married for over 50 years. Together, they moved to the United States and had their son, Dan.

Pauline worked as a librarian at Indiana University and enjoyed helping people gain new knowledge. She decided to further her education and earn her PhD in the department of French and Italian.

Pauline loved spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Visiting them in Illinois brought her great joy. Her great grandchildren called her Special Me-Ma. Pauline will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
