• Auschwitz

  A record that probably names him, from One More Miracle: The Memoirs of Morris Sorid (2007), says:

  I hoped to return home and be met by my loving wife, child, and family. How- ever, in July of 1944, when we were liberated by the Red Army, there was nobody to meet us at the train station; there was nobody to be kissed and hugged. Instead, we mourned their tragic deaths in Ausch- witz.
