Rose Girone, the world\u2019s oldest known Holocaust survivor, died at the age of 113 years old on Monday in New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s Government Press Office (GPO)\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0the news on social media. The\u00a0New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0celebrated her 113th birthday on Jan. 13. She reportedly died of old age, according to her daughter.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGirone was always particularly outspoken about her experiences before and during the war,\u201d Israel\u2019s GPO said. \u201cToday, and every day, we honor her memory and the memory of millions of other victims and survivors of the Holocaust. Never again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Girone was born in Poland in 1912, and then moved to Hamburg, Germany. In 1939, Girone\u2019s husband was arrested by the Nazis and sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp. However, Girone, who was eight months pregnant at the time, managed to obtain visas to China for herself and her husband, and they escaped to Shanghai. She began knitting for a living during her time in Shanghai and when she eventually moved to New York, she opened her own knitting shop in Forrest Hills in Queens that was called Rose\u2019s Knitting Studio. Girone sold knitting supplies and also taught knitting classes. She successfully ran the shop for 40 years, until selling it in 1980.<\/span><\/p>\n

Girone lived in the Belair Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in North Bellmore since she was 109, according to the\u00a0Long Island Herald<\/em>. She was the oldest person living in New York, the fifth oldest in the US, and the 28th oldest in the world, the local publication noted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Girone provided a testimony about her experience during World War II to The USC Shoah Foundation in 1996 and the\u00a0Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County<\/a>\u00a0in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n
