História biográfica
Dr. Karolina Borman was born on Apr. 9, 1922, in Warsaw, Poland, to Jan Borman and Rinka Dobrejcer, and has a younger sister, Irena Bakowska. Dr. Borman went to science lyceum at the age of 15 and received a matura in 1939. After the German invaded Poland, she and her family lived in their original domicile in what had become the ghetto, where she worked in her father’s dental laboratory. In 1940 she went to the underground medical school in the ghetto and finished two years of medical study. In 1942 the ghetto was burned, and her family was arrested and taken to the Umschlagplatz, where they escaped from being sent to the concentration camp and went back to the Warsaw ghetto. She lived in hiding in the ghetto until she managed to work on a German farm as a Polish worker till the end of the war. Liberated on Nov. 13, 1944, in France by American troops, she stayed in France and worked in the Red Cross. She resumed her medical education in Poland and acquired her diploma in 1950. She married to an American citizen, emigrated, and practised medicine in the United States until her death in 1987.
