George Schiffman, a Holocaust survivor, was born in the former Czechoslovakia in 1926 to a family of bakers. The oldest of his siblings, George describes an easy childhood before being deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland at the age of 17, where he was a forced laborer and taken on a death march before his liberation. After staying in a Displaced Persons camp for some time, George immigrated to the United States on his own in 1947.
