About this event
How does a man serve 4 armies in a single war? Benzion Malik’s grandson will tell his grandfather’s unreal WWII story, as chronicled in his memoir, Zaidy’s War .
Benzion’s story involves serving four armies under wildly unique circumstances, being present for both the largest land invasion in human history and the final battle of WWII, avoiding cannibalism under pain of death, eluding poisoning, surviving to walk 1,600 miles to his Romania home, emigrating to Israel, enduring the pummeling of his new community of Haifa during the Six Day War, finally settling in peace in the U.S. where he served as a chef for 40 years, and finished Shas (Talmud) 14 times while he was doing all that. He passed away 11 years ago at the age of 95.
