The operation, which was performed successfully, took place in the presence of the Radsener Rabbi and he was given the new name, Iser. Zoslowsky’s mother was a baptized Jewsss. During the war he crossed into Austria and became a Major in the Austrian Army. A year ago he went to Warsaw and there he fell in love with a Jewish girl.
