Philip Riteman : ウィキペディア英語版 | Philip Riteman
Philip Riteman is an Auschwitz survivor who, in 1989, after forty years of silence, lectures on his experiences in public and private schools, community centres and universities in North America. Philip has recently visited Astral Drive Junior High School for the third time; (First being 2002/2003, second being 2010), Father Mercredi Highschool and Westwood Highschool, in Fort McMurray, May 5, 2011 and Prince Andrew High School, in Halifax, November 7, 2011. Riteman was thirteen years of age when he and his family were captured along with other Jews from his home in Szereszow. Luckily, he was able to pass as an eighteen-year-old because of his large build, saving his life. He performed hard labor for the Nazis from 1939 until May 2, 1945. His personal identification number was 98,706. == Life at Auschwitz == At the time of his selection, Riteman lied and told the Nazi guard that he was, in fact eighteen years old, and a fellow prisoner told the guard that he was a locksmith, ultimately saving his life. The Nazis had need of individuals between eighteen years and forty five years that had any practical skill. In fact, he was only fourteen and had no such profession. He later worked as a general laborer around Auschwitz and other various Nazi concentration camps. Eventually, he and many others were moved up a nearby mountain for the purpose of the Nazis' defense (Americans had reached the area by this time and were fighting for liberation). After several months, he and his fellow prisoners awoke only to silence, and a lack of German soldiers (May 2, 1945). Looking down and away from the mountain, they saw the Americans coming to their aid. The U.S. soldiers eventually had to leave the prisoners (who were now liberated) and pursue the Nazis. However, returning to camps, they received food, appropriate shelter, and medical attention from the American Army, who had conquered the area. Riteman lost his entire immediate family to the Nazis, which included his parents, 5 brothers, and 2 sisters.
