Biography
He was born in Mukachevo, Czechoslovakia (now Ukraine), and grew up in Sighet, Maramureș, in the northern region of Transylvania.[1][2]
He was the son of Mordechai Bruckstein, the owner of a small factory making walking canes, and exporting medicinal plants.[3] His great-grandfather, Chaim-Josef Bruckstein, a Hassidic rabbi was among the first chassidim.[1]
In Spring 1944, after a few months in the Sighet ghetto, the Bruckstein family, father, mother and four children, were deported to Auschwitz, as were all of the town's Jews.[1] Only Bruckstein and his younger brother, Israel, survived.[1]
