Computer Pioneer
(JTA) — Jack Tramiel, an
Auschwitz survivor and founder of
Commodore International, which
pioneered low-cost home comput-
ers, died April 9, 2012, at 83.
His company launched the Vic20,
Commodore PET and Commodore
64 computers in the 1980s. The
latter went on to be one of the
best-selling computer models of
all time.
He was born Jacek Trzmiel in
Lodz, Poland, in 1928. His family
was put in the Lodz ghetto and
then sent to Auschwitz, where he
came face-to-face with Dr. Josef
Mengele. His family perished in the
camp. He was liberated and later
joined the U. S. Army where he
learned how to repair office equip-
ment.
He moved from New York to
Toronto to import typewriters and
started manufacturing them. In the
late 1960s, he went to California's
nascent Silicon Valley, where
Commodore began manufacturing
electronic calculators.
