Samuel Rajzman

Rajzman was born into a Jewish family and lived with his wife and children in Węgrów, where he was an accountant and translator.

[1] After the German invasion of Poland, together with his family he was resettled and imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto.

[1] He was saved from immediate execution that befell most of those from his transport group by an acquaintance, Marceli Galewski and moved to work in the Sonderkommando; he was also enlisted in the resistance organization.

Rajzman was one of the few survivors from that incident; familiar with the nearby area, he was sheltered, together with another escapee, by local farmer Edward Gołoś, a pre-war acquaintance of Rajzman, and survived the war.

[1][3][4][5][6] After the war (which his family did not survive) he moved to France, and later to Canada, where he remarried.
