As a Jewish Belgian, this man from Liège followed a dangerous and unusual path. After leaving the Dossin barracks due to his mixed marriage, he devoted himself to the resistance. This led to a second arrest with unusual consequences: no racial deportation via Mechelen, but transport as political prisoner from the prison in Saint-Gilles.
