"When I go to bed and turn off the light, I think of my parents and my little brother, who were all murdered. I have sleepless nights. A woman from Berne once thought I should take Valerian drops. I bought myself a bottle. It’s useless"
Born in Warsaw in 1923, Bronislaw Erlich survived under a fake name working as a slave laborer for a German peasant. His 52-year-old father Nachum, his 45-year-old mother Brandl, and his 15-year-old brother Jakob were killed in 1942 either in the Warsaw ghetto
or in Treblinka. In 1961, Erlich was recruited by a company in Bern as a professional printer. He later became a successful distributor of printing machines. He is married, has two children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
