She lived in Prague until the age of three when she and her parents were taken to the Theresienstadt ghetto in northern Bohemia where they stayed until the end of the war. Following the ghetto's liberation in 1945, Judy's family went back to Prague for a brief time. From Prague they traveled to Germany and then to England until they immigrated to the United States in 1948.
