Description

Holocaust survivor Morris Zimmerman wearing his camp uniform. Zimmerman was born to a Jewish family in Działoszyn, Poland on February 15, 1924. During the war, Morris was sent first to Częstochowa Ghetto, and then to Buchenwald concentration camp. As the only survivor of his family (the rest having died at Treblinka extermination camp), he decided to head to Belgium after the war, where he would meet his wife Frieda Berkowitz. In 1950, the couple immigrated to the United States where they built a family.
