Montana Tucker was born on January 18, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida, to Jewish parents whose family history is rooted in Eastern European Jewish heritage.

Her paternal grandparents were Holocaust survivors from Kraków, Poland, who survived the Holocaust, an ordeal her family recounts as escaping direct extermination while witnessing the loss of extended relatives. All four of her great-grandparents perished at Auschwitz, underscoring the profound generational trauma embedded in her lineage.

Tucker's upbringing in Boca Raton, a community with a notable Jewish population, was deeply influenced by her grandparents' testimonies of survival and loss, which she has described as central to her early Jewish identity formation and familial values of remembrance and resilience. This heritage fostered a household emphasis on Holocaust education, with her grandparents serving as primary storytellers whose experiences instilled a commitment to preserving Jewish history amid personal and communal narratives of endurance.
