I was born in Levice, Czechoslovakia. My family lived happily in a small town until the Hungarian occupation in 1939. In May 1944, we were deported by cattle car to Auschwitz. My mother and younger brother went straight to the crematorium.  Six weeks later, I was separated from my father and other brother and never saw them again.  I survived four concentration camps.  I was liberated from Gungkirehen, the filthiest human garbage dump. My father left me with the strength to rebuild my life with hope. I was privileged to fight for the War of Independence for the State of Israel.
