Wz98*

My father, Wolf Zaidman, was born to Mendel and Rifka Zajdman in Zytno, Poland, on August 12, 1914. He was raised in Bendin, Poland where he led a normal life until the Nazis arrived. His parents, three brothers and two sisters perished at Auschwitz. He was the only survivor. He faced death many times in the camps. Once digging his own grave with a gun to his head only to be kicked into it as the Gestapo walked away laughing. Liberated at Bergen-Belsen, he soon met my mother, married, and started a family. He was a kind and peaceful man. His sense of humor brought joy to so many.
