During the war, Rosenbloom endured the horrors of the Holocaust, surviving the atrocities of the displacement, and the loss of many family members.[1] This experience shaped her future work and commitment to social justice and Holocaust education.
Education and Career

After the War, Rosenbloom emigrated to the United States. In 1950, Rosenbloom earned her MSW degree from Adelphi University School of Social Work. Her work in social services focused on trauma, resilience, and helping Holocaust survivors rebuild their lives in the post-war period.
Her expertise as a Holocaust survivor and scholar gave her a unique perspective on issues of trauma, memory, and social justice. Throughout her career, she was a speaker and lecturer, sharing her personal story and historical insights with audiences worldwide.
Contributions to Holocaust Studies

Her scholarship included peer-reviewed works such as Implications of the Holocaust for Social Work (1983);[1] The Holocaust Survivor in Late Life (1985);[2] Lessons of the Holocaust for mental health practice (1988); [3] Revisiting our heritage: Implications of the Holocaust for social work (1995);[4] Implications of the Holocaust for Social Work (1995);[5] “Lost Childhood”—Lessons from the Holocaust: Implications for Adult Adjustment (2000).[6] Her scholarship were widely cited and used in academic courses on the Holocaust and trauma studies. Rosenbloom frequently emphasized the importance of oral history in understanding the personal dimensions of the Holocaust, conducting numerous interviews with fellow survivors to document their experiences.[7]

She worked extensively with organizations such as the Red Cross and the United Jewish Appeal to provide support and services for survivors, particularly in addressing issues related to mental health, trauma, and resettlement.[1]
Rosenbloom’s advocacy extended beyond Holocaust survivors. She also focused on broader human rights issues, genocide, social justice, and the fight against anti-Semitism. Her work has left a lasting legacy, particularly in Holocaust education, social work, and trauma studies.
