Zigi Shipper, a Polish-British individual, has lived through the traumatic experience of being a Holocaust survivor. In the year 1942, a devastating event took place, where all the children, including Zigi, were forcibly rounded up and deported from the Warsaw ghetto. In a remarkable display of resilience, Zigi managed to defy the odds and escape from the deportation by jumping off the lorry that was transporting him and the other children.
After his daring escape, Zigi found himself back in the Warsaw ghetto, where he continued to work in a metal factory until the ghetto's liquidation in 1944. The liquidation of the ghetto was a pivotal and terrifying event, as all the people who were working in the metal factory, including Zigi, were rounded up and placed onto cattle trucks.
These trucks, designed to transport livestock, were instead used to transport the innocent civilians, including Zigi, to the notorious Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
