Piotr Zettinger

Born on May 23, 1938, in Warsaw, Poland. 

From the fall of 1940 until the fall of 1942, I lived in Warsaw ghetto. I was smuggled out of the Ghetto, without my parents, in September 1942 through the sewer pipes. I was hiding in the Arian side of Warsaw in different places with false identity, then in the countryside and finally in an orphanage that was situated in a monastery. This was where my mother found we after the war, in the winter of 1945.

The ideology that lied behind the Holocaust has not disappeared. I try to “vaccinate” myself by showing what these ideas can lead to. Through telling about those who saved me, I am saying that everyone has the possibility of “saving a whole world”.
