Ella Burakowski was born to Holocaust survivors, Shoshana Gold and Fishl Burakowski. Her parents met after the war in Foehrenwald, a displaced person's camp in Germany. Together, Ella’s parents made their way to Israel to rebuild a new life for themselves and that’s where Ella and her sister Sarah, were born. When Ella was just a toddler, her family moved to Toronto where Ella grew up. Ella’s mother died when she was 14 years old, long before she ever had the opportunity of knowing her mother’s harrowing story of survival. Ella felt compelled to write Hidden Gold while her uncle David Gold, her mother’s brother, was still able to describe their family’s terrifying struggle during the Holocaust. Her uncle David was the last remaining survivor in her family and he died in February 2017. A few months after her Uncle died, Ella’s book Hidden Gold won an honor award in the Forest of Reading, Canada’s largest recreational reading program facilitated by the Ontario Library Association, and chosen by over 250,000 students. As a second-generation survivor, Ella is aware that she is a unique link to the past and the future. She speaks to audiences about her family’s story in the hopes of teaching and influencing for the better, the next generations. Ella is an avid audiobook fan and is thrilled that Hidden Gold is now available in that format, in addition to paperback and Kindle.
