Daughter of actress Dora Gerson (born Dorothea Gerson) and Max Sluizer.
Miriam Sluizer was born in the Netherlands, where her parents had gone to escape Nazi persecution. On May 10, 1940, however, Germany invaded the Netherlands. Soon, the Jews of the Netherlands were subject to the same anti-Semitic laws and restrictions as in Germany. After several years of living under oppressive Nazi occupation, the Gerson family began to plan to escape. In 1942, Dora Gerson and her family were seized trying to flee to Switzerland, a neutral nation in World War II Europe. The family were sent by railroad car to transit camp Westerbork bound for the Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz in Nazi-occupied Poland. Miriam Sluizer and her family all perished in Auschwitz on February 14, 1943.
