Sam grew up in Salonika, Greece. When the Nazis entered Greece, Sam and his family were forced to move into the ghetto by Germans after Passover in 1943. Keeping a promise with his friend Jacques that they would stay together no matter what, Sam took the place of Jacques’ brother when the two were summoned to work forced labor. Sam and Jacques were taken to a concentration camp where they later escaped during their daily work laying down railroad tracks and ultimately joined the resistance. Learn more of Sam’s remarkable story as told by his son, Jerome Cohen.
