Biography
Marcus Choleva was born on 12 April 1933 in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen to parents of Latvian-Polish Jewish descent. His family was arrested by the Gestapo during World War II and subsequently sent to the concentration camp Theresienstadt in present-day Czech Republic. Marcus Choleva and most of his family spent a year and a half in the concentration camp, surviving the Holocaust. They were repatriated by the Red Cross on April 15, 1945, shortly before the liberation of the camp.
