Aharon Tuzman

Soviet Polish Army

from:Zaklikow, Poland

Aharon Tuzman was born in 1915 in what is now Zaklikow, Poland. At age 8, he sold sweet buns warm from the family's oven on the village streets to make a little money. After the Nazis invaded Poland, his widowed mother, Symma, told him to take his brother, Maier, and flee. Bribing a farmer with two bottles of vodka, the two young men crossed the Soviet border buried inside a hay wagon. They covered their mouths so as not to cry out when border guards stabbed the hay with pitchforks. the two brothers were captured by the Russians and sent to a Siberian labor camp because they were escapees. When a call went out for men to serve in the Soviet Polish Army, Aharon Tuzman volunteered. Rising to the rank of chief quartermaster, he not only saved his and his brother's lives, but also smuggled supplies to Jewish survivors of concentration camps. After the war he moved to the USA and was known as Arnold Tuzman.
