Biografie

A biography of Coral's father, based on a video of his testimony and on interviews with relatives and acquaintances. Zafir was born to an Orthodox Jewish family as Mendel Chaim Zeig in the village of Sokirnitsa, near Khust (now in Ukraine) in 1916. Pp. 50-81 relate his experiences in the Holocaust. Zafir married in May 1939, after the region passed into the hands of the Hungarians and shortly before the war. In 1942 he was drafted into a military labor service unit. In 1944 he managed to return briefly to Sokirnitsa, which was soon occupied by the Germans. He was then sent to various military labor camps, and his wife and three small children were deported and killed. In December 1944 he was sent on a death march to Gunskirchen, where he was liberated. After the war he returned to his hometown and then left for Italy, where he was active in illegal immigration to Israel. In 1948 he arrived in Israel himself, and joined the police force. In the 1960s he served as one of Eichmann's interrogators. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism)
