The boy with the “Golden Hands” was born in Rovno, Poland in 1920. Nat had a childhood of happy memories where his creativity and scholastic achievement flourished. His parents told him and his younger brother to leave, as Germans were approaching. They escaped to Samarkand and attended agricultural school. In 1945, he attended Munich Technical University and graduated as an Architectural Engineer. He met his wife Bela, in 1949. Although he was a secular Jew, he was extremely proud to be a Jew. It was most important to him that his children and grandchildren be proud of their Jewish heritage.
