Avram Lazar, also known as Mendel Avram, was born on Jan. 23, 1918, in Iași, Romania. He experienced antisemitism during childhood and was excluded from the army because he was a Jew. Avram worked as an accountant in his brother-in-law's hat store until the store was taken over. On July 1, 1941, Avram was taken on a death train to Podu Iloaie, Romania, where he did forced labor. On Nov. 20, 1941, he was sent back to Iași, Romania, and did forced labor until liberation in 1944. From then on he worked as an accountant. He now lives in Canada
