Elizabeth Wilf, born on April 16, 1932, in Lvov, Poland (today Lviv, Ukraine), is a Holocaust survivor. The Soviet Red Army occupied the city in 1939, and Nazi Germany invaded in mid-1941. At nine years old, her family was forced into the Lvov ghetto, allowed only to take what they could carry, and required to wear the yellow Star of David. She survived the German occupation and the Holocaust as a Polish Jew. The Wilf family immigrated to the United States around 1950 and settled in Hillside, New Jersey. Elizabeth and her husband Joseph Wilf (1925-2016) became prominent philanthropists supporting Jewish causes, particularly education. In 2002, Yeshiva University renamed its Washington Heights campus 'The Wilf Campus' in recognition of their magnanimous gift. She serves as a member of YU’s Stern College for Women Board of Directors and has spoken publicly about her experiences, including at Vanderbilt University’s Holocaust Lecture Series. She is the mother of Mark Wilf.
