Pavel David Sivor<\/p><\/div>\n

Pavel David Sivor was born in July 1934 as Pavel Suchostaver to Slovak-Jewish parents in Bratislava, then part of Czechoslovakia. In May 1942, his family was forced to leave their apartment in Bratislava after it was confiscated by the Slovak Nazis. They found a small flat in a wooden house in the Patr\u00f3nka district, where David\u2019s grandmother, Ru\u017eena also lived.
\nIn July 1944, the family left the apartment for safety reasons. Ru\u017eena and David found shelter with the Ozvald family (recognized in January 2018 as Righteous Among the Nations). David\u2019s two uncles and his cousin also hid there. When the hiding place was discovered, the uncles and cousins were arrested and deported to concentration camps. David\u2019s mother had earlier managed to hide her mother, Ru\u017eena in a Bratislava hospital, while David evaded capture by hiding in a pigsty.
\nThanks to friends, David\u2019s parents found a new hiding place for him in the summer of 1944 with Anna Bala\u017eov\u00e1. Out of fear, he spent most of his time digging a large hole in the yard, believing he could use it as a hiding place if necessary. Toward the end of the war, he had to go into hiding once again in Bratislava. Meanwhile, his mother, grandmother, and uncle had been deported to the Sere\u010f and Theresienstadt camps.
\nAfter his mother\u2019s return from Theresienstadt, David emigrated with her to Israel in February 1949. There, he became a successful swimmer and head coach of the national team, accompanying them to several Olympic Games. Today, he is active in fostering cultural exchange between Israel and the Czech Republic and speaks as a contemporary witness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
