Mrs. Mayer lived in Prescott for 45 years until 1998, when she moved to Toronto.
She was born in Wupperthal, Germany, July 3, 1925 to Fritz Roos and Alice Culp Roos. The family moved to Holland in 1933 where her father was the manager of a lingerie factory.
Her book, One Who Came Back, was written in 1980 and published in 1981 and recounts the young woman's struggles and as a survivor of concentration camps near the end of WWII.
"It was 2 August, 1944, a Wednesday evening, shortly after ten o'clock when a car stopped... near our hiding place..." Mayer wrote in her book, describing the events that led to the capture of her family. "Our luck had run out. Within minutes, the house was surrounded by Nazis... Seeing the grief and despair on my father's face almost broke my heart. We had grown very close indeed in the hiding time, sharing many thoughts together and getting to know each other better than would have been possible in normal life.
"We had come so close to surviving the war in hiding. The Allies were advancing steadily. Yet here we were, handcuffed, riding to an unknown destination."
Mayer spent the next several months performing hard labour at concentration camps at Westerbork, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Libau, until she was freed May 8, 1945.
"The war is over. The war is over. I went outside, not even trying to comprehend what it meant that the war was over and we were free women. I walked slowly around in the most glorious sunshine the world had ever seen. Looking at the other skinny girls and women in their rags, I realized for the first time that most of us had reached about the end of our physical strength. We looked like the skeletons we had seen in Birkenau."
She lost several members of her family, including her grandmother, parents, brother and cousin in the Holocaust. Mayer survived her ordeal and went on to marry her husband Heinz on Aug. 22, 1948. The couple moved to Canada in 1951, settling first in Montreal and then Prescott. He predeceased her March 15, 1982 and is buried at the Anshe Zophen Synagogue Cemetery in Ogdensburg, N.Y.
