About Osi Sladek
During World War II, the Staub family—mother Irene, father Frici, and their young son Oskar— fled into the Tatra mountains to escape Nazi forces and their Slovak collaborators. Stripped of their home, possessions, and identity, they faced brutal conditions to survive. Young Oskar, in particular, showed remarkable resilience as he navigated the physical and emotional challenges of this perilous journey. Set against the backdrop of Slovakia’s collapse and the Allies’ victory over Germany, Oskar Sladek’s story is a moving testament to the endurance of the human spirit and the enduring impact of the Holocaust.
