Biography

Born 1928 (1932 is incorrect) in Tluste, Poland, near Zaleszczyki; son of Majer and Fajga Essig. When the Tluste Ghetto was liquidated, only 300 men were kept alive to work in a farm.

"Then we went into the woods ... Father was hit by a bullet and fell at our feet ... My brother was very small then, not quite 8 years old ... I left my brother [with the Wiszniewski family and I joined the partisans] ... I learned to shoot so well that they took me everywhere with them ... Now I just want to go to Palestine and work there. And if I have to fight then I will. This time I shall know what I am fighting for."

Samuel Eisen was interviewed in Krakow soon after the war.

"He was in the ghetto with his parents. Transports of Jews to Tłuste from Buczacz, Zaleszczyki, Jagielnica, Czortków, and Hungary. Liquidation actions, mass graves, deportations. He and his brother were hiding with a Pole, Grabowski, and his parents were murdered. He joined the partisans, and his brother was sheltered by a Pole, Ignacy Wiszniewski, until the end of the war."
