Solomon Radasky lived with his family in Warsaw. In 1941, he was caught by the Jewish police. He was forced to work, and his job was to keep the trains running. When he returned to the ghetto, his mum and older sister were shot dead. His father was killed in April 1942, and his other two brothers and sisters were deported to Treblinka, whom he never saw again. Solomon worked in the Tobbens’ shop as a furrier. In 1943, he was shot in the right ankle and so he was sent to Umschlagplatz, the Treblinka extermination camp. However, he was sent to Majdanpek, where he suffered a lot of difficulties. He was nearly killed, but he was selected and sent to Auschwitz. There, he befriended several Jews with whom he worked in the sand mine. On January 18, 1945, Auschwitz was liquidated and liberated; however, Solomon was still under Germans. He was finally liberated on May 1, 1945 by the Allied troops. He married Frieda, and they moved to America. They have two children.
