CHULA VISTA, California — Holocaust survivor Harry Rosen passed on April 7, 2022. Born on August 9, 1923, he is now next to his wife, Zipporah Rosen, in Israel. He is survived by his son, Amnon who lives in Israel. This video shows his final days and now burial in Israel:
For those who knew Harry, will be remembered as a positive soul that had the best advice. He always had a smile and reminded us that we must live for today because we do not know what will happen to tomorrow.
Harry Rosen was part of the Holocaust stories for RUTH Remember Us The Holocaust because of his working in Chula Vista for 25 years.
He was an active member of The New Life Club, enjoying his outings with others that were in the Holocaust. He was so appreciative to Jewish Family Service of San Diego and considered the staff as a member of his family. To learn more about Harry Rosen, visit here and read between pages 200-205.
