In November 1940, the Tabaczynski family fled Klodawa, Poland, because of the anti-Jewish persecution of the German occupaton authorities. They were later forced into the Warsaw ghetto. Gina, her parents, her brother, Pawel, and his wife, Bela, worked in the business office of the Schultz Firma which protected them from deportation through the spring of 1943. In April 1943, when the Germans began to liquidate the ghetto, the residents launched an armed revolt against the German occupiers. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising ended on May 16. Gina was the only member of her family to survive.
