Born as the second child of György Révész and Anna Schreiber, Juliska was only four-month-old when she, her mother and four-year-old brother Jánoska were taken to the Pécs ghetto in Tompa Mihály Street. At the end of June, they were taken to the collection camp set up in the Lakits barracks, where more than 5,000 Jews from Pécs and the surrounding area awaited their fate, crammed into sheds, starving and lacking even the most basic sanitary conditions. The train deporting the Jews of Pécs left on 4 July 1944 and arrived at the Birkenau ramp on 8 July. Of the 3,100 deportees, 2,440 were immediately sent to the gas chambers. Among them were Juliska, Jánoska, and their 28-year-old mother. Her father, György Révész survived the Holocaust as a labor serviceman and returned to Pécs after the war.
