About the Author

Noach (Natan) Żelechower was born on the 8th of October 1904 in Warsaw, Poland.
He was a middle child with 11 siblings, most of them perished in the Warsaw Ghetto and ensuing genocide of the Jews. Noach’s profession was a dental technician. In the 1920s he married his first wife, Balbina Nurflus, and in July 1927 their daughter Stella was born.

With the outbreak of World War II and the Nazi Germany occupation of Poland, Noach and his small family’s comfortable life in Warsaw was thrown into turmoil, especially after they were forced to move into the Warsaw Ghetto in the autumn of 1940. After losing his loved ones to Treblinka extermination camp, Noach went on to experience the hardships and torment of one transit camp, 7 concentration camps, and the excruciating forced labor and brutal torture in various work units, including in the depths of underground coal mines and in the valley of a stone quarry.
