About Rose Ross

Rose Ross was the first child born in the Neustadt, Germany displaced persons camp (1946). “Growing up in the Bronx, the only child of Holocaust survivors, affected me deeply, filling up my mind and the very air I breathed, ” says Ross. “Their story, and the stories of other survivors, and the second generation of the children I grew up with were the motivation for Lila – my first novel at age 73!”

Ross, a former actress, was a Board Member of Stageworks/Hudson and The Chatham Film Club/FilmColumbia Film Festival, a nationally recognized film event, known as “Cannes in the Hudson.” She continues today as an active participant in film-related programs in Delray Beach. She is the author of Tar Beach Memories, a screenplay about growing up in the Bronx. Ross is currently working on a stage play exploring the relationship with her mother, set in the safety of movie theaters, over a period of 40 years.
