Sylvia

Holocaust Survivor Sylvia tells of being corralled into cattle cars with the rest of her family and sent to Siberia during the war. She finally made it to California in 1985. Now 87 years old, she fears for the future as she ages. Services provided by Jewish Family and Children's Services' Seniors At Home program have helped to keep her in the apartment she has lived in for 22 years.
