Narrative: Zigmund (Sigmund) Schick was born on November 26, 1920 in Somotor, Slovakia (then Czechoslovakia). At age 7, his family moved to Antwerp, Belgium. Zigmund became a plumber. On July 18, 1942 he is sent along with 300 other Jews from Antwerp to the “Judenlager” of Les Mazures near the French city of Charleville-Mézières. On October 24, 1942 he is deported on transport 15 from Malines to Auschwitz where he arrives on October 26, 1942. Zigmund was selected to forced labour and was given the proisoner number 70672. He was sent to Jawischowitz (Jawiszowice), a subcamp of Auschwitz where he probably worked in the coal mines. Following Jawischowitz, he was sent to another labour camp in Wroclaw (Breslau). Zigmund was part of a death march from Breslau to Gross Rosen which left between January 23 and 25, 1945. It is believed that Zigmund escaped the death march along with two other prisoners before being liberated by the Russian army on January 29, 1945. Zigmund was repatriated to Belgium on May 3, 1945. He immigrated to Canada in 1951 along with his wife and their son.
