Arnold Daniel was born in Strasbourg, in the Bas-Rhin, on March 4, 1929 surrounded by his parents Chaim and Perle. The family surely had to flee the rise of anti-Semitism in Alsace and, like many Jews in the region, they joined the Dordogne and for this family more precisely: Périgueux. They lived there until their arrest in 1943. In Drancy, he carried the number 8925 then he was deported to Auschwitz where, strangely when one notices his young age, he survived the first selection (indeed, I found his Auschwitz registration number: 167490, which proves that he spent some time there). Despite everything, he lost his life all the same since he could not get over it.
