RAPHAEL-SACKS FINKELSTEIN
Goldie Finkelstein, a longtime resident of
Vineland, NJ, since 1951, and more recently
residing at Saltzman House, Springdale
Road, in Cherry Hill, NJ, died December 28,
2019, at Vitas Hospice, Jefferson Stratford
Hospital, Stratford, NJ. She was 90. Goldie,
a Holocaust Survivor, was born Golda Cukier,
in Haifa, Israel. The second of four children of
Joseph and Miriam (Manya) Cukier, she grew
up in Sosnowiec, Poland. She was 10 years
old, in fifth grade, when the Nazi's first occu-
pied her hometown. When Goldie was 13, in
March 1943, she and her older sister were
grabbed off the street by the Nazis to be sent
to a forced labor camp. Her father was able
to bribe the authorities to release his daugh-
ters, but when they got to the gate to be
freed, a senior Nazi SS officer said to her
father, "Two sisters? Only one may go, you
must choose!" With her father unable to
choose, Goldie volunteered to stay and for
her sister to go home. Goldie was sent alone
to a slave labor camp called Graben, where
she and other young women were forced to
manufacture textiles for the Nazi military.

Goldie survived a death march in the winter
of 1945 from Graben to the concentration
camp Bergen-Belsen, where she was liber-
ated on April 15, 1945. She learned after lib-
eration that her entire family had been depor-
ted to Auschwitz in August, 1943, where they
were gassed and burned within hours of ar-
rival. Goldie was left alone at 15 years old,
the sole survivor of her immediate and exten-
ded family. After liberation, she met her fu-
ture husband Sol, also concentration camp
survivor, in a Displaced Persons camp in
Stuttgart, Germany. They were married 66
years, until Sol's death in June, 2013. They
came to the United States as refugees in
1948, and after a brief time in New York City,
moved to Vineland, where they rebuilt their
lives as chicken farmers and egg processors.

They had three children, and Goldie was
totally devoted to rebuilding Jewish life and
to her family. Goldie published her memoir,
with Sol, entitled I Choose Life, in 2009. Gol-
die was known for her elegance and beauty,
and for her warmth, charm and kindness. Her
home was always an open and welcoming
place, and she loved to entertain, to cook and
to bake. She is survived by children Jack and
Gail, Joe and Sara, Eve and Craig (Thomas);
grandchildren Adam and Hilary, Julie, Seth
and Sarah, Ilana and David, and great grand-
daughters Mina and Aidan. Funeral services
were held on December 31 st . In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to Beth Is-
rael Congregation, Vineland, NJ; or the
