Dorothy was born in 1921 to Sima and Gedalye Rosenberg in Rozwadow, Poland. She survived the Holocaust while hiding in Poland throughout the war with her husband of 58 years, Marian Holzer, of blessed memory. After living in Israel from 1949 to 1952, they immigrated to Montreal, where they resided until 1995, then moved to Atlanta to be closer to family. Her husband predeceased her in 1998, and she became an active member of their synagogue, Congregation B’nai Torah, of which she was always very proud.
