Jack Waksal

Yedlinsk, Poland
1924

Jack was born on September 15, 1924, in Yedlinsk, Poland. He grew up in a family with his parents, one brother, and two sisters. Sadly, none of them survived the war. Jack’s father worked as a Shochet, a Jewish ritual slaughterer of animals for food, and Jack attended a Heder, a Jewish school, during his early years.

When the Germans invaded Poland, a ghetto was established in his town, marking the beginning of a difficult and dangerous period. Jack spent the war doing slave labor in various military camps and munitions factories. By May 1944, he was in Pionki, working in a munitions plant. As the Russians approached, Jack managed to escape and lived in the forest until liberation.

After the war, Jack was placed in a displaced persons (DP) camp in Germany.

In 1950, he made his way to the United States, settling in Dayton, Ohio. There, he built a new life, starting a scrap metal business. His wife, Sabina, who was also a Holocaust survivor from his hometown and an Auschwitz survivor, passed away six years ago.

Jack has three children, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, continuing his family’s legacy despite the hardships he endured during the Holocaust.
