His mother’s last words to him exhorted Philip to “be somebody” because “the world will need you.” He survived two massacres and eventually was reunited with his father and one brother. Together, the three of them spent the rest of World War II hiding from the Nazis in the dense woods of Poland, occasionally attaching themselves to groups of partisans.
