'This Was a Miracle': 94-Year-Old Holocaust Survivor Who Kicked COVID-19 Is Freed from Quarantine"Through this whole thing, we would FaceTime with him, his face would just light up, his family is definitely number one." -Granddaughter, Erica Wasserman
Walking down a red carpet on Tuesday, Jack Holzberg was met with cheers by the staff of the CareOne nursing home in Whippany as he was released from quarantine. The New York Post reports Holzberg was diagnosed with COVID-19 in mid-April and treated at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York before he was moved to the nursing home in New Jersey to quarantine until he was healthy enough to return home. "The fact that he's still here after all that he's been through and that he was able to survive this, it's amazing," said granddaughter Erica Wasserman. Holzberg was a teenager in Poland when Germany invaded the country in 1939, igniting World War II. He spent most of the war in several German concentration camps, and most of his family were killed during the genocide. After the war, Holzberg immigrated to the US with a surviving brother, settling in New York. He taught himself English and built a successful clothing business, according to the Post. He was diagnosed with the coronavirus about the middle of April, according to Wasserman. "When we heard about the diagnosis we were all scared, but this was a miracle," said Wasserman. After leaving the rehab facility, Holzberg returned home and was reunited with his wife Betty. The couple has been married for 68 years. Wasserman told the Post the 75th anniversary of her grandfather's liberation from the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria will be on May 6. Throughout his ordeal, the survivor stayed positive, Wasserman said. "Through this whole thing, we would FaceTime with him, his face would just light up, his family is definitely number one," she added.
