Eryk Holder was born in February 1937 in Poland. He survived the massacres of the Stanislawow Ghetto. Short before the ghetto was liquidated, his father had him taken into a non-Jewish family, where he remained in hiding until the end of the war. He gave his testimony in 1945 and again in 1998 in Israel, where he emigrated after the war.
