Tsvi C. Nussbaum

Tsvi C. Nussbaum

Tsvi C. Nussbaum (born 1935) is a holocaust survivor, known as possibly being the boy in the Warsaw Ghetto photograph. Nussbaum's parents immigrated to what was Palestine in 1935. However, they found life too difficult there, and so returned in 1939 to Sandomierz in Poland. Nussbaum's mother and father were murdered before the Jews of the region were sent to various Nazi concentration camps. Tsvi's brother disappeared, never to be seen again. Shortly thereafter Tsvi and his aunt moved to Warsaw and, posing as gentiles, lived there for over a year. When caught, they were deported to the death camp at Bergen-Belsen.

After 1945, Tsvi moved to Palestine (later to become Israel). After living in Israel for eight years, he moved to the United States. Initially, he did not speak English; but having a talent for science, he later studied medicine and became an otolaryngologist in New York City.

Two considerations count against Nussbaum being the boy in the photograph. First, Nussbaum was arrested at the Hotel Polski, not in the ghetto as is pictured. Further, he was arrested on July 13, 1943, several months after the ghetto had been destroyed and the report, where the picture is to be found, delivered to Heinrich Himmler.
