Sara Goldfinger was born on 20 September 1933 in Ostrowiec, daughter of Icek (Yitzhak) Goldfinger and Hudes(s)a Goldfinger, née Mincberg.

On 3 August 1944, she was sent from a forced labour camp in Ostrowiec to the Auschwitz concentration camp with 305 women and children. She survived the selection and was given the prisoner number A16918.

Her parents died in the German extermination camps, as did her sister Chava, named after her grandmother. Her grandparents Yaakov and Chava and her uncles Shmuel, Menakhem, Tzvi and Leib also did not survive the Holocaust.
