The family business was a poker parlor and a small chicken farm.  Julius survived by escaping and hiding. He was transported to the camps and escaped three times. His parents did not survive, however, his two siblings did. After the war, his Uncle Morris, who lived in Detroit, Michigan, brought him to the United States. He worked three jobs, saved his money, and drove to California where he was reunited with his brother, Eugene.
