Alexander Donat

Alexander Donat (1905 in Warsaw-16 June 1983 in New York City) was one of the few survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto and witness to the Jewish genocide accomplished by the Nazis in Poland during the Second World War. He wrote "Jewish Resistance" (1964), "Holocaust Kingdom" (1965), and "The Death Camp Treblinka" (1979) as a memoir to the traumatic events.

His son William Donat is a noted publisher and graphic artist.

In 1977 Donat became a member of "The Holocaust Library" a non-profit program to launch books that condemn persecution and tell of the personal experiences of the Jews during the Second World War in Europe.

He died of a lung disease at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
