- Notes
- He married shortly before the war (around 1938). His wife was heavily pregnant (8th or 9th month) and was taken to Treblinka during the selection process. Leon survived the selection, ended up in a small ghetto with his brother Mosze (Morris), and was then transferred to Buchenwald. In April 1945, during a death march, Morris and Leon decided to separate, hoping that one of them would survive. Leon never returned.
