Philip Markowicz has had an exceptional life. His household lived in Przerab, Poland. His father was a Chassidic Jew and a rabbi. Their lives were filled with religious beliefs and happiness till the Germans invaded Poland. After the intrusion, Philip’s household left to Lodz, thinking they would be safer there. Like lots of other households, they were send out to the Lodz ghetto where all members of his household, with the exception of Philip and his sibling Henry perished. Ultimately, they were sent to a series of prisoner-of-war camp, ending the war in a death march. At the end of the war, Philip began reconstructing his life, fulfilling his partner in a Displaced Persons camp, relocating to the United States, and starting once again.
