phone gives me trouble.”
Agatha Katz and Zoli Rubin, both
Holocaust survivors, met at a party
in Detroit after World War II. In
those first post-war years, Rubin
said finding work was difficult but
he eventually found a job at Midwest
Woolen Co. on Randolph Street.
When the store needed a cashier,
Rubin told his boss about Agi and
she was hired. The couple were mar-
ried in 1951.
They had three children: Vicki,
Amy and Randy, who died at age 51
in 2016. Rubin has five grandchil-
dren and three great-grandchildren.
Rubin attributes his long life to
a promise he made to himself dur-
ing the Holocaust “to defeat Hitler
by living.” He also lives healthfully,
not drinking or smoking. He said
he only tried cigarettes once in his
life, picking up a cigarette butt off
the streets in his native Kapusany,
Czechoslovakia, at age 10.
“My father caught me with the
cigarette, and that was the end of
that,” said Rubin, the youngest of 11

children. “I never smoked again after
that.”
Ironically, cigarettes kept Rubin
alive during a death march. He car-
ried a box of cigarettes, tossing them
at SS soldiers to keep them from
paying attention to him as he walked
back into the crowd of marching
prisoners.
In his testimony given to the
Holocaust Memorial Center in
Farmington Hills, Rubin said he lost
70 members of his extended family.
Fortunately, he was able to salvage
a family photo album and bring it
to America. The album’s photos are
in excellent condition and contain
portraits of his parents and siblings,
aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
“Even though I went through so
many troubled times,” Rubin said,
“I promised I would stay alive and I
guess that worked for me.” •

Following the Annual Meeting, there will be a brief Board of Directors meeting to elect the slate of Officers.

At a press conference at defense con-
tractor Israel Aerospace Industries
facilities last week, Israeli non-
profit company SpaceIL announced
its intention to send Israel’s first
unmanned spacecraft into orbit in
December and, two months later,
land it on the lunar surface. Israel
would then join the exclusive club of
nations that has accomplished this
difficult feat since the 1960s, becom-
ing the fourth nation to land a craft
on the moon after Russia, the United
States and China.
Ido Anteby, chief executive of
SpaceIL, outlined the schedule. He
explained that SpaceIL will test the
spacecraft through October and, in

November, the company will deliver
it to the Cape Canaveral launch site
in Florida. The launch date is set for
December; two months later, on Feb.
13, the spacecraft is expected to land
on the moon.
SpaceIL is backed by donors,
including U.S. casino magnate
Sheldon Adelson, the Schusterman
Family Foundation and South
African-born billionaire entrepreneur
Morris Kahn, who said costs associ-
ated with the program hover around
$95 million. He called on the Israeli
government to follow through with
its pledge to fund 10 percent of the
project. •
