I survived only to tell
The arc in 7 lines
- A tailor from Kalisz, eldest of five.
- The war splits him from his family in November 1939 — he leaves, they stay.
- Deported by the Soviets: labor camp, Siberia, Central Asia.
- Back in uniform, he enters Majdanek days after liberation — and there, he says, his family died.
- Alone in the world, he crosses borders: Bavaria, Paris, the steamer Groix.
- Santos, December 6, 1947. Clara, 1950. Three children, seven grandchildren.
- In 1997 he tells everything — "I survived only to tell". This site is the continuation.
