Holocaust
Survivor
Janet
Applegate
Friday May
17th
Mansfield High School students had the opportunity to hear the story of Janet Singer Applefield and how she survived the holocaust thanks to numerous individuals who risked their lives to save her. When her family was forced into a Polish ghetto, Ms. Applefield was given to a woman who pretended to be her aunt. Throughout World War II, she managed to hide her identity despite numerous close calls. She was able to reunite with her father and they eventually came to America and settled in New Jersey in 1947. Over the last 30 years Ms. Applefield has shared her story with students throughout Massachusetts. Her sixth appearance at Mansfield High School was paid for through a grant from the Mansfield Arts Council. Ms. Applefield, now 77 hopes to write a book in the near future about her experiences.
