Jacob Gluckman was the youngest in a family of five children born in Warsaw, Poland where his parents owned and operated a family grocery store in Warsaw, Poland. After the German invasion of September 1939, the family was forced into the Warsaw ghetto where they all shared one room. Sixteen-year-old Gluckman was transported to the Majdanek concentration camp in late 1940. From there he was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, Flossenberg and finally—via forced march—to Dachau, where he was liberated by the United States Army in April 1945. Gluckman was the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust. After the war, Gluckman stayed in the Feldafing displaced persons (DP) camp for six months before coming to the United States in 1952.
