biographical history: Renée Fodor Schwarz (1918-2000) was born Ryfka Issler in Zasów, Poland, not far from Krakow. She was the second youngest of ten children and lost both of her parents before her fifth birthday. She attended Hebrew Gymnasium and Jagiellonian University in Krakow but was not accepted into medical school because she was Jewish. She survived the Krakow ghetto, Płaszów labor camp, Auschwitz concentration camp, and a death march during the Holocaust, moved to Israel following her liberation, and immigrated to the United States with her husband and son in 1948. She became Chief Psychologist at the American Foundation of Religion and Psychiatry in New York and at the Westchester Institute for Training in Psychotherapy and Counseling.
