Rose Girone, the world's oldest Holocaust survivor, passed away at 113 years old on Monday in New York.
Girone was born in Poland in 1912, and moved to Hamburg, Germany with her family.
In 1939, her husband was arrested and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp.
Girone, eight months pregnant at the time, was able to secure visas for her and her husband to escape to Shanghai, China.
There, she began knitting for a living, a hobby that ended up with her opening a knitting shop in Queens, New York, where she was reportedly a beloved part of the knitting community.
