1942, all the Jews of the city
were rounded up by the
Nazis. More than 800 of
them were transported to
the Treblinka death camp,
where they died.
Kay and two brothers
were sent to Skarzysko for
forced labor. One brother
was shot; the other died for
lack of medical attention.
Kay was transferred to an-
other concentration camp,
Czestochowa, and then to
Buchenwald, then Dora and
Nordhousen and
Hartzzungen, all in Ger-
many. He worked on muni-
tions.
American forces liberated
him in 1945; Kay remained
in Germany until 1949,
searching for his family. He
learned that he was the only
survivor — mother, father,
two sisters, six brothers,
cousins, 200 members in all,
were gone.
With the aid of Jewish so-
cial services he then came to
