Philip Bialowitz, 90, the last survivor of Holocaust detention camp Sobibor, passed away on Saturday.
He died in a Florida hospice, surrounded by his four children.
His book, A Promise at Sobibor, recounted his life story, from his childhood in pre-war Poland, to his teenage years during the Second World War, to his post-war years dedicated to creating a family, helping the community, bringing the Nazi perpetrators to justice, and remembering and teaching about the Holocaust.
