Democrats Abroad | Women To Win: Patricia Ackerman (NV-02)

Patricia Ackerman is the daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, both Holocaust survivors. Her mother was forced into Nazi slave labor for four and a half years and her father, after almost starving to death, escaped a concentration camp. After enduring the Holocaust and the Soviet oppression that followed, her parents fled to Ambridge, Pennsylvania, determined to succeed in America.

They passed along that same fierce will and determination to live free to their only daughter.
