Autor: Sophie Weisz Miklos

Sophie W. Miklos was born in Transilvania, Romania, in a small town of Valea Lui Mihai. She presently resides with her husband, Andrew, on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. She is a mother and grandmother. At aged sixteen and a half, she was deported along with her family to the concentration camp. By a miracle, her sister (who has since passed away) and she survived, and were granted a second chance in America. Because of it, she felt it was her moral obligation to take responsibility and fulfil the reason for her miraculous survival. This motivated her to write Paper Gauze Ballerina.
