David Zilberberg was born on January 15, 1917 in Dombia, Poland. He was the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust through his wits, physical energy, and willingness to join commando units against the Nazis.  His parents and brother Dov, were deported from Dombia to death camps while David fled into the forests of Poland. He hid and joined the Partisans to set up anti-Nazi camps from 1939 to 1944.  He returned to Dombia after the war, where he met his future wife, Sheva. They emigrated to Israel in 1950 with their son Mark and their daughter Esther.
