Childhood and Family

“I was born on Nowolipki 62 street, in Warsaw Poland. It was a Jewish neighborhood and area. This house and street were part of the Ghetto later, and I lived there until 1942.” 

“I had my older sister Mina and my younger brother, Moshe.” 

“My mother was a very warm and caring person. She was a crazy mother, really. She would sacrifice everything for her children, and I loved her very much. Unlike my father, we would argue and play games without fearing I was disrespectful.” 

“My love for my father was very strong, because when we were hiding together and once I escaped, all I could think of was my father and how fearful I was for him. My father to me was like God. I had so much respect for my father I would just cry when I knew I disappointed him.”
