August 1929 - November 2026

Gertrude “Trudy” Album (1929–2026) was a Holocaust survivor, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a woman who never stopped embracing life. Born in Czechoslovakia, she survived Auschwitz and came to America determined to build the life she had lost.

She went on to raise a loving family, travel the world, make more friends than anyone could count, and even attend Woodstock. Later in life, she dedicated herself to sharing her Holocaust story with younger generations, becoming a beloved friend, mentor, and honorary grandmother to thousands of young people.
