He died Oct. 16, 2006, at age 89. Born in Poland, Mr. Strochlitz was deported to Birkenau in August 1943. His parents, sisters and wife were killed upon arrival. After 15 months, he was sent on death marches and was finally liberated from Bergen-Belsen in April 1945. He married Rose, also a Holocaust sur- vivor, and immigrated to New York in 1951. In 1957, he bought a Ford dealership. Mr. Strochlitz became close to Holocaust survivor and writer Elie Wiesel, who was also in Birkenau. In 1978, President Carter named Wiesel chairman of the President's Commission on the Holocaust. Mr. Strochlitz became Wiesel's chief lieuten- ant. Wiesel relied on his loyalty and keen pragmatism He, in turn, translated Wiesel's poetic vision into concrete action. The one area where Mr. Strochlitz assumed sole responsibility was the civic commemoration of the Holocaust. He established the format: a national commemoration on Yom HaShoah to be observed in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington — and commemorations in the capitals of each state. In its first year, all 50 governors signed proclamations. Ii
