HENRY DORFMAN-
FROM HOLOCAUST TO HOMAGE
Henry Dorfman, like most of us,
has known both sorrow and joy. Like
some of us, he has also known terror
and anguish. Today he is a symbol of
those who have survived the
Holocaust and somehow grasped life
again — with tenacity and renewed
hope.
But Henry is more than a symbol.
There are special qualities, in this
man: enduring strengths, fierce
loyalties and a lust for life and its
challenges; gentled by his tender-
ness toward family, his reverence to
G-d, his love for Israel.
Here is his story:
In 1942, as a young man working
in a labor camp near his home of
Glovachow, Poland, he and his
father left their endangered Jewish
ghetto to find a safe hiding place for
the family. The place was found:
space behind a false wall in a cow
shed on the farm of a Polish gentile.
Henry quickly headed back toward
the ghetto with the news. But the
way into the ghetto was now barred
and guarded. Henry's loved ones —
his mother, a sister and two brothers
— later perished at Treblinka.
For two years Henry, his father
and seven other Jews shared the
desperate hiding space. In the sum-
mer of 1944, an intuitive fear of dis-
covery caused four people — Henry
and his father, a woman and her
child — to flee the farm and swim
across the Vistual River to reach the
advancing Russian Army. Their
bravery was their salvation — those
who stayed behind were discovered
and shot by German soldiers.
Henry served in the Polish Di-
vision of the victorious Russian
Army. He met Mala, just released
from a concentration camp. They
married in the fall of 1945 and re-
ceived the greatest of wedding gifts:
Mala's joyful reunion with sisters
Franka and Rosa, now liberated
from their camps.
The rest of the story exceeds
Horatio Alger's: a livelihood as a
kosher meat supplier to the D.P.
camps, then to the United States,
where Henry's energy and business
acumen has resulted in the opera-
tion of one of the largest meat-
packing firms in the United States,
Frederick & Herrud, Inc. Henry is
president and chairman of the board.
He is also a leader in his
synagogue . . his community . .
and a champion supporter of Israel.
When Mala and Henry experienced
the ceremony at Vad Yashem in
- Jerusalem this past summer during
the World Gathering of Holocaust
Survivors, their memories and com-
mitment were strong. We of Shaarey
Zedek share that commitment: to .
never forget and to preserve the fu-
ture of the Jewish people.
