G

olda Indig, 91, of
Wilmette, Ill., died
April 28, 2022.
A life spanning nine
decades, five countries, six
languages, and countless
latkes recently came to a
peaceful end. Golda Indig
died with family at her side.
Born in 1930 in what
was then Czechoslovakia,
Golda grew up as part of a
large Jewish family, one of
seven siblings. She moved
to Sighet, Romania,
when she was young
and spent most of
her childhood there,
days full of baking
with her grandma
Malka and playing with
her sisters and brothers.
When she was 7, she lost her
dad to cancer, the first of
many painful losses. When
she was 13, the Nazis came
to town.
Golda was forcibly
removed from her home and
sent to Auschwitz with her
family. Her grandma, mom
and two younger siblings
were murdered there. Her
two older brothers died later
in the war. Alongside her
older sister Blimchu, Golda
survived. At Auschwitz,
she was sent to the gas

chambers twice
and escaped both
times, always
finding her way
back to her sister.
She spent a year
hiding from the Nazis
inside their own concentra-
tion camps, sneaking into
the camp kitchen to secure
food for her, her sister and
the rest of their barrack. At
14, she was liberated as an
orphan, refugee and survi-
vor of three Nazi concen-
tration camps: Auschwitz,
Christianstadt and Bergen
Belsen.
Two years after liberation,
at 16, she married Benti
Indig. The two applied
for resettlement and were
accepted into Canada in

1950. They had three chil-
dren together and lived in
Canada for 13 years before
coming to the United States.
In the States, Golda found
a job at General Motors,
sewing the leather seats
in Cadillacs and cleaning
offices. She turned what was
supposed to be a short-term
job into a 31-year career
with the company and used
her benefits to support her
family, including her grand-
kids. The trauma of her past
became the jet fuel of her
life.
Golda was known for her
ingenuity, lively spirit and
relentless generosity, giving
whenever and wherever
she could. She loved to feed
people and was a phenom-
enal baker and cook. She
worked, cooked, sewed,
crocheted, earned her
American citizenship and
fed anyone and everyone she
possibly could. She spent
her last years swimming,
playing Rummikub and col-
laborating with her grand-
daughter Brooke Randel on
a Holocaust memoir, still in
the works.
She will be remembered
for the fierce way she loved,
the quality of her hugs, and

how easily she filled others
with food, kindness and
good company.
From the wake of geno-
cide, Golda created a full,
loving life. She is survived
by three children, Hedi
Bednarz, Harry Indig
(spouse Karin Indig) and
Gail Randel (spouse Derek
Randel); seven grandchil-
dren, Rebecca Feldman
(spouse Larry Feldman),
Justin Morgan (fiancé
Holly Leverton), Michael
Morgan (spouse Emily
Stern Morgan), David Indig,
Stacey Indig, Scott Randel
(spouse Dana Randel),
and Brooke Randel; six
great-grandchildren, Alexa
Feldman, Mara Feldman,
Lily Morgan, Ben Morgan,
Abe Randel and Theo
Randel.
Services will be held at
Hebrew Memorial Chapel
followed by interment at
Shaar Hashomayim in
Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
Contributions may be made
to 3GNY-Descendants
of Holocaust Survivors
