Zev Was A Five Year Old In 1939

Germany invaded Poland in 1939, when Zev Kedem was 5 years old.
The family abandoned a vacation and headed to Kedem's
grandparent's home in Krakow. "It was dark and, as a
five-year-old, I was fairly afraid,"

Nazis Ship Zem To A Polish Ghetto

Within a year, Zev Kedem's family was rounded up and brought to
the Crakow Ghetto with 30,000 other Jews. Barbed wire surrounded
their world.

Nazis Roundup Jews For The Gassen Chambers

In the spring of 1943, the final deportation of Jews from
Crakow began. Zev, his older sister and their grandparents hid in
a padlocked pigeon coup as Germans inspected the abandoned
ghetto.

Nazis Shooting Jewish Children In Their Hospital
Beds

Zev could hear the sirens blaring out warnings of death to
those Jews who did not give themselves up. He heard dogs barking
and people being shot. He heard shots ringing from the hospital
nearby. "I have no doubt that the Germans were executing children
in their hospital beds that were too weak for deportation," Zev
says.

Zev's Momma Bribes A Guard

Later Kedem's mother bribed a Nazi truck driver to smuggle her
son into a camp so as to avoid having him scrutinized by Nazi
guards, who would have unquestionably sent Zev immediately to the
gas chambers.

Nazis Gassed Anyone Under 13 Yrs Old

So he hid among the older boys, working in a brush
factory were he sat on a box at the worktable to appear
taller than he was. Once he was spotted by a Nazi overseer,
but talked his way into survival by virtue of a large supply
of brushes in front of him.

Zev Was At Six Camps

Zev Kedem passed through several more concentration camps - then
Oscar Schindler came into the picture with his "most wondrous of
plans to create a fictitious factory in Czechoslovakia."

Zem Goes With Schindler

At the age of 10 years, little Zev was put on the list -
selected to go to Czechoslovakia to work at Oscar
Schindler's textile-turned-armament
factory.

Zem Winds Up In Auschwitz

After his stint with Schindler, Zem is sent to Auschwitz in late
1944.

Zev Was Marched To Mauthausen.

The war ended for
Zev Kedem on May 3, 1945, when the U.S. Army liberated Mauthausen
- two weeks before his 11th birthday. He was liberated by a
Schwartzer (black) soldier.

After The War

Young Zem wandered Europe for months until some Limeys shipped
him to Britain where Zem winds up in a
orphanage. After the orphanage, he went to Oxford, then Israel,
and finally gets married.

It's 1993, There's Schindler's List, And He Sees
Momma

Spielberg finds Zev, and arranges for the aging Zem to
meet his dying Momma in Poland.

Zev In 2007

Zev Kedem was one of the 1,100 Schindlerjews whose
life was miraculously saved by German industrialist
Oscar Schindler. Kedem, now over 60 years old, is a
documentary filmmaker. He consulted on and appeared in
Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning epic Schindler's
List.

God Bless Zem

To think a five year old could have been through so much. Zem went
from the Polish ghettos to  Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, and
Mauthausen, with Nazis hounded him. Sent from Sobibor to Oscar
Schindler, and then back to Mauthausen, a camp for hardened criminals,
much like today's Pelican Bay.

The best part is Zem now lectures at Universities, and people are
stupid enough to buy this ménage of BS.
