Zigi was born on 18th January 1930, to a Jewish family in Łódź, Poland and attended a Jewish school. When he was five years old his parents divorced, and he went to live with his father and his grandparents.
In 1939, when war broke out, Zigi’s father escaped to the Soviet Union, believing that it was only young Jewish men who were at risk. However, in 1940 Zigi and his grandparents were forced into the Łódź Ghetto. His father attempted to return, but Zigi never saw his father again.
