She was 13 years old when German troops occupied her homeland on March 15, 1939 . Her father was then removed from his position as factory manager because he was Jewish . Viktor Glaser then moved to a smaller apartment in Prague with Zusana Glaserová. Her sister emigrated to South America with her husband .

In February 1942, Zusana Glaserová and her father received the order to register for a "resettlement" in the Theresienstadt ghetto . They left Prague on February 12, 1942.
