Roza was born on April 25, 1926, in Munkatch, Czechoslovakia, into a Hasidic family. Her parents, Tzipora Herman and Moshe Liberman, raised seven children. During World War II, her father, a Polish citizen, was taken by the Nazis. Soon after, Roza and her aunt moved to Budapest to help financialy support the family. Shortly after Roza's departure, her mother and siblings - including a set of twins - were deported to Auschwitz. The twins were subjected to horrific medical experiments by Dr. Mengele. Tragially, the rest of her family was murdered in the Holocaust, with the exception of one brother who later immigrated to Israel. While in Budapest, Roza lived in the ghetto under harsh starvation conditions and constant threat of deportation. She would forge ghetto residence permits week by week to avoid being sent to Auschwitz. In May 1945, the ghetto was liberated by the Russian army. Following liberation, she undertook a difficult journy back to Munkatch, only to find that no family members remained. In Munkatch, she married Shimon, who had been serving in the Russian army. Together they had two children, Shlomit and Misha. In 1957, due to their support of the Sinai Operation and refusal to align with prevailing political views, they were dismissed from their jobs, expelled from the Communist Party, and forced to relocate to Poland. After two years in Poland awaiting visas, the family immigrated to Israel in October 1959. There, Roza and Shimon worked hard to build a stable life and provide better opportunities for their children. They spent many years together in Hadera. Following Shimon's passing, Roza moved to live with her daughter and son-in-law in Shoava, on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
