Manya Sklodowska, as she was called before marriage, was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867. Her father taught mathematics and physics. Her mother, a musician who played the piano and sang, was never able to hug or kiss her children because of Tuberculosis, a very contagious disease, which later took her life on May 7, 1878. Manya had 2 sisters Bronya and Zosia. They both caught Typhus at a young age which took Zosia's life and made Bronya's life stronger.
