Al Drotow

This collage honors the memory of my husband, Al Drotow. Many knew him by his Yiddish nickname, Abke del Litvak. He was a loving father and a devoted husband for forty-seven years. Al was a Holocaust Survivor. He endured the living hell of the Nazi occupation of Lithuania. He survived the Kovno Ghetto and several concentration camps including Kaiserwald in Latvia, Stutthof in East Prussia and the infamous Dachau. He was a courageous and compassionate man. Al was liberated by the U.S. Seventh Army on April 28, 1945, while on the Death March from Dachau. He weighed 69 pounds, almost a skeleton.
