Marta Goren was born in Czortków, then in eastern Poland. Her mother smuggled her into the city ghetto and hid her in the basement of the pharmacy where she worked. Later, she took refuge in Warsaw under an assumed identity with the Schultz family.

Marta returned to her Jewish family after a very painful separation from Mrs. Czaplińska. In 1946, she was sent to a camp for Jewish displaced persons in Germany, where Jews waited for the possibility of emigrating to Israel. In the resettlement camp, he met her grandfather and aunt Lunia. From Germany, she was brought to a resettlement camp in France. From there, on the ship "Champollion" she reached Israel. She was 11 years old when she came to Israel.

In Israel, she got married. The first child, a daughter was named Netta - after Marta's mother. Marta has two more children. Her husband's name is Amos. Today she is a happy mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
