On Eddie Jaku’s Family And Wife
Eddie Jaku had a big and loving family in the east German city. They were from Leipzig.
His father was Polish. Isidore was one of eight children of his parents. Eddie’s mother Lina was killed in one of the concentration camps. Both of his parents did not survive the holocaust.
Isidore escaped to Belgium and then went to France. But unfortunately, he was again recaptured and again sent to a camp, and later to Auschwitz.
His family was arrested by the Nazis in October 1943 and was sent to Auschwitz. Both of his parents were brutally murdered in Auschwitz.
Jake’s father was a mechanical engineer. He had a false name and false paper works which proved him he was not Jewish. If the Nazis knew he was a Jew they would take him immediately to concentration camps.

Flore and Eddie have two sons. Their names are Andre and Michael. Andre and Michael have made them grandparents. And even their grandchildren have their own children which makes Eddie and Flore ‘great grandparetns’.
