Avigdor (1920-2010) was incarcerated in various concentration camps for the entirety of the war, including long spells in Auschwitz and Mauthausen. Upon liberation he sought to rescue hidden Jewish children and rehabilitate them. Avigdor emigrated to the United States and in 1955 was appointed Rabbi in West Hartford, Conn., serving his community for a half-a-century.
