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. t1:21BUIE: RABBI nzwin qizonei2 sunOay, novemBerz 15, 1981 cocktails at 5:30 p.m. MORRIS able' hall - shaaoey zeOek synaQoque 27375 Bell pm& southfielO Cfencual chatoman Oavio oinneR chatoman ipvinG Takeo B. hERMELIR couveot R.S.V.p.
