Fruma and her husband, Simcha, were planning to emigrate just before Germany invaded Poland. Three weeks after the invasion, The Soviet Union occupied the area they lived in. The Soviet rule didn't alter their lives greatly; The family lived in the same home and Simcha still taught Philosophy at Lvov.

In 1941, Germany invaded the Soviets territory including Horochow. The family fled the area once they heard rumors that the ghetto was going to be destroyed. As they were hiding in brush by the river, They heard gunshots and screams from the ghetto. They left their position after a guard spotted them.
