His mother, Chana, and his brother Marcel were arrested with him. His father, Moszek, had been deported on convoy 3. Marcel was a hero and guiding spirit of the resistance group FTP-MOI (Francs Tireurs et Partisans, Main d'Oeuvre Immigrée). He was executed at Mont-Valérien on February 21, 1944, and became one of the subjects of the "Red Poster" (L'Affiche Rouge), a German propaganda poster put up throughout the Occupied Zone with pictures of "foreign Jewish criminals" executed in 1944. Their mother was deported on February 3, 1944, on convoy 67. Simon helped Marcel but was spared the death sentence by the German Military Tribunal because of his age; he was deported to Buchenwald with a convoy of resistance fighters on January 19, 1944. He survived.         FRENCH CHILDREN OF THE HOLOCAUST A memorial Serge Klarsfeld    Back Page 1130 Forward       Last modified: March 9, 2008 Technical/administrative contact: webmaster@holocaust-history.org
