Born in poland, he strongly believed in freedom of religion. He did not support how hitler killed so many innocent people. He worked hard during his life and through his capture.

for the Jews in concentration camps. They were forced to work long hours if they did not get sent to a killing center first. This means that the concentration camp was the better option, which is really bad because of how the Jews were treated.
