  • Michael Goldman-Gilad was born in 1925 in Katowice in western Poland, to his parents Naftali and Arna (Esther). Michael had two siblings - Yaakov and Goldaleh. With the outbreak of World War II, Michael escaped with part of his family to Przemyśl, and the family reunited in November 1939 in Nizankowice. In the summer of 1942 a ghetto was established in Przemyśl, in which Michael was imprisoned. On his birthday, July 26th, during a forced deportation from the ghetto, Michael parted with his parents and little sister. In September 1943, Michael was taken to the Szebnie concentration camp and from there to Auschwitz-Birkenau in November 1943. After roughly a month and a half, Michael was taken to Buna-Monowitz (Auschwitz III), where he worked at the I.G. Farben factory. As part of the evacuation of Auschwitz in January 1945, Michael was taken on a death march, during which he managed to escape, and went into hiding with the Polish Zimon family in Wielopole. Michael was liberated by the Red Army on January 26th. In January 1949, he immigrated to Israel, enlisting in the police and acting as one of the investigatory officers in the 1961 Adolf Eichmann trial. Michael is married to Eva, and has five children. He lectures on the subject of the Holocaust and accompanies Israel Police and security forces delegations to Poland.

    "We felt that we were on a much higher spiritual level." (29.23) are almost the same words my grandmother used when she described their horrors during the Shoah. What a beautiful man Michael Goldman is, I have deep respect for him how he survived, continued his life and his work for Israel. And the courage to tell us his story in such great detail is amazing. A true Mensch.

    A wonderful moving true story of a man, A soul's journey of deep contemplation still not ending ,perhaps will never end.
    Two learnings from this example from life itself.
    1. No amount of revenge can be equal to the crimes committed by the nazis.
    2. Danger is not over. All the enemies of Israel have not perished despite the Deborah's Prayers.
    Lurking in the corner in many forms.
    What I cannot do, will get it done by somebody else.
    A cue in the waiting with sll anti semitic hoards from Middke East, North Africa invading Europe and being welcomed by the Europeans.
    Perhaps these will be the new Nazis in the waiting to do masters bidding.
    Anybody has thought on this??
