After surviving the horrors of Auschwitz as a young woman, she sought refuge in Argentina in 1948 and started a family. There, in 1977, the civic-military dictatorship took her son, Daniel. Decades after arriving in Argentina, a young music student played the violin for Rus, before giving her the instrument. Mother of Plaza de Mayo Vera Jarach, who, like Rus, survived both the Holocaust and the dictatorship, attended the ceremony. A documentary about her life, La memoria y después (The Memory and After) by Eduardo Feller, was released in 2018.
