Abducted from his family by the Nazis at the age of 8, he was starved, tortured and left for dead three times. During his third capture, he was sent to an experimental hospital where cruel medical experiments were done on him. The rest of his family – a brother, sister, and parents – were also captured and sent to different slave labor or concentration camps.
