Notes
David Dawidovicz was born on July 17, 1924 in Lodz, Poland. Soon after, his family moved to Tel-Aviv, Israel, where they stayed until 1931. At that point, they moved to Paris because of endemic poverty in Tel-Aviv. After four years in France, David, his mother and two of his sisters were expelled from France because they were illegal immigrants, unlike David’s father. David remembers the train journey through Germany, seeing lots of swastikas on buildings and on uniforms. He and his relatives spent six months in Lodz. There, David realized that Jews in Poland weren’t as emancipated as Jews in France. Back to France, David attended school until the war began. In 1941 and 1942, he witnessed several roundups. During the Vel d’Hiv roundup of July 1942, he hid in a small apartment with other people. They were able to hide thanks to French policemen who used to warn Jews. David hid for several weeks. He was eventually arrested in August 1942 by French policemen who took him to the offices of the UJF (Union des Juifs français). This organization gave money to the French police to send Jews to work in the Ardennes (a French region) instead of deporting them to Poland. David worked there until January 1944, at which point he decided to escape and join the resistance. He partook in the liberation of Paris. After the war, David took part in a program to de-Nazify the German youth. He lives in Paris to this day.

Narrative: Eta and Adele Rubinstein are the donor’s cousins and Leon is the donor’s uncle. Sara Ostrzega, nee Rubenstein, was born on 1923-05-13 in Lodz, Poland. Very shortly after the war broke out, Sara and her family were forced out of their house and into the Lodz ghetto. In 1944-08, the Rubenstein family was deported to Auschwitz. During the registration there, she and her mother were separated from her father and brother. They only stayed in Auschwitz for three days, and were then transported to Stutthof, where a large number of people were needed for the production of ammunition. Sara remained in Stutthof concentration camp for three months, before she was brought to Dresden. There she lived in a factory building, also forced to produce ammunition. On 1945-03-11, they were forced on a train to go to Theresienstadt camp-ghetto. Sara managed to flee from the train and remained hidden for four weeks. In 1945-05, she returned to Lodz, where she found that her father, uncle and brother were still alive. Her cousin Eta survived the Holocaust but her uncle Leon perished in Stutthof concentration camp in 1944.

Zena Lev (née Lipa) was born in Lodz, Poland on April 18, 1925. She had three siblings. When the war broke out in 1939, she and her family were immediately transferred to Krasnik’s ghetto where they were accommodated by the Jewish committee. Zena stayed there until 1942, working in the fields. Her family was deported to Treblinka (?) in 1941. Zena was transferred to Lublin where she worked in a munitions factory until liberation by the Red Army in January 1945. After the war, she returned to Lodz only to discover that her entire family had perished. There she met her future husband, Jacob. They went to Prague, Pilsen and Salzburg in Austria, and in 1946 they move to Bari, Italy, where they got married and had their first child. They were helped by the UNRRA. In 1948, they moved to Israel where Jacob served in the army and they had their second child. In 1953, they moved to Montreal where they had a third child. Together they ran a fruit store; however, adjusting to a new environment wasn’t easy. Zena found that one of her uncle’s survived the Holocaust and was living in Montevideo. Zena and Jacob have one grandson.
