- Notes
- He was very musically talented; he could imitate famous cantors. During his stay in the Warsaw ghetto, he fell ill with tuberculosis. To protect him from the harsh conditions in the ghetto, George's brother (Jurek) brought him briefly to the estate where he worked, and Szymon worked there as a cook. However, the boy missed home very much and before the Yom Kippur holiday decided to return to his parents in Warsaw. He was deported to Treblinka along with his father.
