My family was taken to the ghetto in Czestochowa, Poland.  I worked in the Hassag Aparetenbaum Factory in Czestochowa.   It was an ammunition factory where I helped make bullets for guns and rockets for the German Army.  I was there until the end of the war.  My brother, David, became a soldier in the Polish Army in Russia in General Anders Army.  David fought in Palestine in the Army.   

The Polish Army and Russian Army, together, liberated us.  I returned to Czestochowa and then later moved to Lodz.  I graduated from the Polish University in Business Management.  I became a teacher for the University/Government.  I became the director of the Mjenskie Handel Detaliczny IMHD, a department store.  I later opened up a business store for fabrics (materials) and then a women’s coat factory.  

In 1970, my family and I moved to the United States to Amsterdam, New York where my cousins, Irving Hayden and Fred Sendrowicz were living.  I started a retail store in Amsterdam, New York manufacturing coats and selling fabrics.  We then moved to Detroit with a similar clothing business, and then opened up a Jewelry business in Southfield, MI.

It's good to be Jewish even though we suffered because of it. I want my family to be Jewish. I am a Survivor.
