After the Treblinka trials he emigrated to Uruguay, where he died in 2004.
His Treblinka memoir titled "The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Memoir" originally in Yiddish, was published in 2009 for the very first time in German and French, without the English translation which appeared in 2011 with the Preface by Elie Wiesel seven years after his death at the age of 90.
