context_page_description: Rosette "Rose" Wolczak was a Jewish child victim of the Holocaust. Born in France in 1928, she came to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1943 as a refugee, and was expelled for what the Swiss authorities ruled to be indecent behavior. She was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where she was gassed upon her arrival in November 1943.
context_section_description: On Wednesday 27 January 2016, a memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust was unveiled next to the Cropettes primary school in Geneva.  This memorial is the first of the kind in Switzerland according to the CICAD. This initiative was made in conjunction with the publication of a book by Swiss journalist Claude Torracinta recalling Rosette Wolczak's history.
