died Oct. 12, 2021. 
She was born in 
Radom, Poland, 
where she lived 
with her parents, 
Shaindel and 
Tuvia Tenenbaum, 
her sister Rella 

and her brother Jacob. Mania 
remembered her childhood as 
very happy, filled with family, 
friends and close neighbors. 
All of this ended abruptly 
when the Germans invaded 
Poland in 1939. She survived 
the Holocaust but lost nearly 
her whole family.
After her liberation, she 
met and married a Jewish 
American soldier, Martin 
Salinger, in Bad Nauheim, 
Germany. They moved to 
Detroit, where they raised 
their family and built a suc-
cessful business, Salinger 
Electric Co. 
Mania spent more than 25 
years as a volunteer speaker 
at the Holocaust Memorial 
Center. The stories she told 
focused on the importance 
of finding courage and
