At the age of 14, during World War II, Irene and her older sister Wanda were taken by the German Army and forced into slave labor in Salzburg, Austria. In 1945, they were freed by the U.S. Army and placed into a displaced persons camp with the United Nations Relief Organization. In 1949, her Uncle Frank Begos assisted Irene with her immigration to America.
