Helena Citrónová, one of 4 children of Jewish parents, was born on the 26 August 1922 in Humenné, then part of Czechoslovakia. Her father was a cantor and because Helena liked not only to sing but also dance, her older brother joked that one day he would take her to Prague to exercise her talent. In 1934, Helena’s sister Róžika together with her husband emigrated to Palestine. However, because he could not find work there, in 1939 the two decided to return to Czechoslovakia together with their daughter though the Jews in Palestine had warned them by saying: "What? Are you crazy?! There's a war brewing.” By the time the family realized their mistake, it was too late.
