Adrienne Petrook of Closter was among the 34 Holocaust survivors, all 90 or older, who recently met in New York City to celebrate milestone birthdays at a Blue Card celebration. The gathering brought survivors together to celebrate one another. They included centenarians Annmarie Kolner and Sally Muschel, who is turning 101 in early November.
