Victor Zorza
Victor Zorza (1925–1996) was a Polish born journalist who contributed to the West's understanding of the Soviet Union, and was later known for pioneering work promoting palliative care in Russia.
== Early life ==
Zorza was born on 19 October 1925, in the small town of Kołomyja, Stanislawowskie in eastern Poland. His name at birth was Israel Wermuth, and his parents were Polish Jews who owned a shop in the town. In 1939, after the Red Army invaded eastern Poland, the Soviets declared the family as bourgeois, and confiscated their shop. As the Germans swept into Poland in 1941, the 15-year-old Zorza fled eastward as his family was rounded up and sent to the Kolomyja ghetto, and then to Belzec death camp. (His younger sister, Rut Wermuth, escaped from the Nazi train to Belzec, survived the war working under false identity as a factory worker and maid inside Germany, and was reunited with Victor in 1994.)
Zorza fled east with the retreating Russians, and was forced to dig trenches with prisoners of war. During this time he narrowly escaped a German air strike, which killed many others in his group. An accident during this time left him with total amnesia, and he never completely recovered his memory. Caught up in the flow of refugees, Zorza was sent to a Soviet work camp in the east. He escaped but was captured and returned. His second escape was more successful, and with help from the author Ilja Ehrenburg, Zorza was able to join up with a Polish Air Force unit that was being formed. He was evacuated to the UK via Iran and India.〔
After the war ended, Zorza joined the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) monitoring service in 1948. He monitored and reported on news from the Soviet bloc. Zorza met Rosemary Wilson, and they married in 1949. They had two children, Richard (born 1949) and Jane (born 1952) 〔() Life details from timeline in the book "Victor Zorza: A life amid Loss" Wright M Observatory Publications - (2006) ISBN 0-9544192-1-9" pp 262-268〕
