Betrayed by a Catholic priest in his hometown of Pisek, Czechoslovakia, 13-year-old Jan Frolich and his four younger siblings were suddenly imprisoned by the Gestapo in Prague. His gruesome ordeal continued as he boarded a train all alone bound for Theresienstadt and later Auschwitz. After miraculously surviving these camps, he immigrated to Israel and fought in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The complete story of Jan Frohlich’s Holocaust journey can be found in To Life: The Past Is Present, Holocaust Stories of Hampton Roads Survivors, Rescuers, and Liberators.
