biographical history: Marianne Szanto (1932-2006) was born in Szolnok, Hungary in 1932. After her parents divorce in 1936, Marianne’s mother, Irene (née Ehrich, b. 1905), married Kalman Kemeny and he adopted Marianne. In the early 1940s, Kalman was conscripted into forced labor and Marianne and her mother were forced into a ghetto. In June 1944, they were taken to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Marianne was soon sent to the Hessisch Lichtenau labor camp to work in a munitions factory. She was later sent on a death march for four weeks before being liberated by U.S. troops. After liberation, Irene and Marianne went to Budapest to stay with an aunt where they were reunited with Kalman. Marianne immigrated to Canada in 1957. In 1960 she married Alexander Wolfe and moved to Ottawa. They had a daughter, Irene (b. 1965).
