He was born June 28, 1922 in Stanislawow, Poland (now, Ivano-Frankusk, Ukraine). The city was occupied by the Russians from September 1939 until 1941 when the Germans took over and established a ghetto from which Andy managed to escape in late 1942. He survived in Warsaw, living as a Christian and in the fall of 1944, he fought, as a captain, with the Polish Underground during the uprising which lasted about three months. After the war, he attended medical school in Munich. sponsored by Hillels Around Chicago Multi-Campus Center, GAP and jconnect, The School of Liberal Studies, and The Mansfield Institute, Roosevelt University Tuesday April 25th Gage Gallery 18 S.
