He survived by concealing his Jewish Identity and carried false identification papers. He was a member of the Belgian Resistance movement along with his future wife Mindla, whom he had met through a Jewish youth group. They married in Brussels in 1946 and had two children, Daniel and Élise Rabinowicz. The family immigrated to Canada in 1951, settling in Montréal, where Icek found work in his profession as a pursemaker. Mindla later went to University and obtained a degree as a translator
