Rubin’s father wished to avoid that same fate for his third son, and in March, at not yet 15 years old, Rubin left his home in Hungary to attempt to reach Switzerland and safety. Emery and his friend were captured at a train station and sent to a forced labor camp, then to the Mauthausen concentration camp. By early 1944, Rubin’s older brother Miklós had been conscripted for forced labor, and his brother Emery (originally spelled Imre) had left with a friend to avoid similar conscription.

Born to Jewish parents in Hungary in 1929, Rubin was one of six children-three sons and three daughters.
