description About

Zigi Shipper is a Polish/British holocaust survivor. In 1942, all children, including Zigi were rounded up and deported from the Warsaw ghetto. Zigi managed to jump off the lorry and escaped back into the ghetto where he remained, working in the metal factory, until the ghetto’s liquidation in 1944. When the ghetto was liquidated, all of the people from the metal factory were put onto cattle trucks and sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
