戰後，他和他的妹妹試圖收回他們在巴黎特羅卡德羅區的公寓。畢竟，他們從未賣掉過它。他們只是逃離了那裡。他姊姊朋友的男友在冬季自行車館大搜捕前曾警告他們。在那次搜捕中，法國警方以猶太人的罪名逮捕了13,000名男女老幼。他們中的大多數人最終被送往奧斯維辛集中營。

AFTER the war, he and his oldest sister tried to reclaim their family’s apartment in the Trocadéro section of Paris. They had, after all, never sold it. They had simply fled. The boyfriend of his sister’s friend warned them ahead of the Vélodrome d’Hiver roundup, during which French police arrested 13,000 men, women and children for the crime of being Jewish. Most of them would end up being sent to Auschwitz.
