Rochus Misch

Rochus Misch, a remarkable individual, was born on July 29, 1917, in the charming town of Alt Schalkowitz, located in the province of Silesia, Germany, which has since undergone a name change to Stare Siolkowice, a district within the larger region of Opolskie, Poland. Throughout his remarkable life, he was fortunate enough to be surrounded by the unwavering love and companionship of his devoted wife, Gerda Lacjmund, who played a significant role in his life's journey. His life was marked by many significant events and experiences, which ultimately shaped him into the person he became. Unfortunately, his mortal journey came to a close on September 5, 2013, in the bustling city of Berlin, Germany, where he spent his final days.
