Nazis arrived in 1942

Forced into ghettos surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by Nazi guards

Forced labor laying railroad ties

Became a Polish partisan fighter

Smuggled gun parts into the ghetto

Successfully planned the escape of his mother, brother and one sister

Ghetto was destroyed: his father and other sisters were murdered

In the Russian army for three years

”Mother and I were the only ones to survive.“
