We have asked Jacques Silberman, who is a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor and former hidden child. His first language is French. During World War II, he and his younger sister, Lily, were hidden throughout Belgium in various Catholic orphanages. They were forced to move several times, and Jacques had to change his name with each relocation to protect his identity. He was only eight years old when the war began.
At 18, Jacques immigrated to the United States, where he learned English. He later served in the Korean War, stationed in France. After his service, Jacques settled in Brooklyn and married his wife in 1960. They eventually moved to Yorktown, where they raised two daughters and welcomed five grandchildren. He enjoyed a prolific career at IBM. For the past 12 years. Jacques now lives in New Rochelle.
