ROSEMARY ELPERIN,

Written by adminTS on January 23, 2014

Rosemary Elperin was born in Bamberg, Germany, shortly after World War II. Her parents were Holocaust survivors. Her mother, Toni, was in Bergen-Belsen while her father Jack was liberated from Dachau. Her family left Germany and landed in New Orleans before eventually settling down in Los Angeles.

A product of local schools, Rosemary went on to receive her Bachelor of Arts in History from California State University, Northridge. She married Bill Elperin upon graduation and helped support him while he attended law school. She later worked as a teacher and accountant while raising two children.

She was a founding member of the Sons and Daughters Division of The 1939 Society, and has since served in many capacities—including as an officer of the Society and now, as a board member.

Rosemary and Bill have four grandchildren, and lucky for them, they all live in Los Angeles.
