EZRA SHERMAN WITNESSED some of the 20th century’s
most transformational moments.

The 87-year-old survived the Holocaust, saw Auschwitz as
part of a Soviet brigade, participated in the Battle of Berlin and
fought in Israel’s War of Independence under Yitzhak Rabin.

In Israel, he married and started a family and eventually
moved to Philadelphia in the ’70s.

“I was one of the lackeys that could survive the war in Europe
and hiding for 18 months, and then all the wars in Israel,”
