** FOR USE AS DESIRED ** Holocaust Survivor Yochai Remetz is seen at his house in Kfar Saba, Israel in this photo taken in September, 2007. Remetz was born and raised in Warsaw, Poland and during the war was imprisoned with his mother and younger brother in the Warsaw Ghetto. He managed to escape the Ghetto in 1942, and found temporary places of refuge and under a false Arian identity was recruited to serve in the camps of the German Air Force. During that time he joined the Polish resistance and took part in various operations. Once Poland was liberated, he joined the Polish army and fought until the war was over.
