well. "I never recall witnessing
or hearing anything. But I think
many of my mother's problems
were a result of the Holocaust.
At age 12 she witnessed her
own mother's death. She was in
her mother's arms ...
"For my father, it was not
knowing. For years he looked
for his family. He went through
all the channels. Not knowing
what happened to his family is
what hurt him."After the war,
Burdowski began rebuilding his
life in the Feldafing Displaced
Persons Camp in Germany.
There he met his, late wife, Re-
gina, and futuke barbershop
partner Leo - Goldberg. He
learned to be a barber in
Lagischa after suffering
frostbite. Wooden shoes, he re-
called, do not keep out the cold.
He credits a kindly doctor and a
Polish "lagerfuhrer" for saving
his life and protecting him
through the barbering job.
For four years, Dubrowski and
Goldberg were among the ten
barbers at Feldafing. Dubrowski
recalls the difficulty American
troops had, including Yiddish-
speaking Jewish soldiers, in
convincing the survivors to
enter the displaced persons
camps. "Just the. mention of the
word 'camps' was
w enough to
make us disappear again."
He and other survivors "liber-
ated" a German house. "We ate
potatoes for a week," causing
severe diarrhea and body swel-
ling. Some of the emaciated sur-
vivors who gorged on Red CrosS
parcels died from the diarrhea,
he said.
He remembers life being good
in Feldafing. The survivors lived
well and were able to travel
throughout Germany. But Bur-
dowski refused to visit his na-
tive Poland. "I was afraid of
being put in the Polish Army
then. Now, maybe I would go
... I want to see what happened
to my parents. But if I went, I
wouldn't expect any pleasure
out of it. Just bad memories.
Burdowski's second wife,
Margie, was hidden from the
Nazis by her mother in several
concentration camps. They were
liberated from Bergen-Belsen
when Margie was nine. "Po-
land's a country I could care less
about," she said. "If somebody
gave me a free trip I wouldn't go
there." Her husband recalls
Polish youngsters identifying
Jewish homes for the Nazis. He
also believes that Czerwinski
was a "Folksdeutsch" -- Polish
citizen of German descent. That
information could not be con-
firmed by the West German
Consulate.
Barber-partner, fellow sur-
vivor and 40-year friend Leo
Goldberg admires his friend's
courage. "Somebody should go
(testify). Somebody's got to go."
Goldberg, a German Jew,
never registered for reparations
— "I didn't want them to 'buy'
my family was my attitude back
then?' He never gave the Ger-
man government a deposition
about his own experiences. "But
I feel David's testifying is the
right way of doing things. It's
