David Reicher was just 3 months old when his father disappeared, never to be seen again by his family. David, who was born Daniel Reicher in Rome, survived the Holocaust together with his mother Ethel and his sister Rosetta but never knew anything about the fate of his father, according to a Walla news report.
David’s mother, who he terms “the great survivor”, took her two infant children on a legitimate ship to Palestine in March 1945, before the war in Europe had even ended.
Wishing to give them a new lease on life after the tumultuous childhood they had suffered, she changed their names to David (in memory of his grandfather who was murdered in the Holocaust as well) and Shoshana. She worked hard to support her children and rarely spoke about the war years. David only knew that his parents escaped during the war from Poland to Italy, that his father was a dentist named Moshe and that one day he had left the house and disappeared.
