When the situation in the ghetto took a turn for the worse, Peretz and Zanek escaped to the Polish side, where they posed as Poles and sustained themselves by street singing and selling cigarettes, while smuggling food and clothing to their parents in the ghetto.<br \/>\nPeretz&#8217;s father, Benjamin, died of hunger in the ghetto and his mother, Miriam, was shot and killed in the summer of 1942. Peretz and Zanek continued to sell cigarettes and newspapers with other Jewish children in the city, hiding at night in stairwells. Most of their customers were Germans, among them SS officers.<br \/>\nWhen the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising broke out, Zanek was in the ghetto. He was caught and transferred to the Umschlagplatz (deportation plaza). As the Jews were being loaded onto the train, Zanek managed to escape to the Polish section of Warsaw, where he located his brother.<br \/>\nOn the eve of the Polish rebellion in Warsaw, Peretz and Zanek joined the Polish underground. After the rebellion was crushed, remnants of the fighters, among them Peretz and Zanek, were transferred to prison camps in Germany. Upon liberation, they returned to Warsaw, where they found their older brother, Leon.<br \/>\nPeretz and Zanek arrived in Eretz Israel in 1946, and Peretz joined Kibbutz Sha&#8217;ar Hagolan. During the War of Independence, he served in the Palmach Brigade of the Negev and was injured. He later worked in manual labor.<br \/>\nPeretz married Sima (n\u00e9e Hershkovitz). The Hochmans have three sons and six grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A few days before Holocaust Martyrs&#8217; and Heroes&#8217; Remembrance Day 2013, Peretz Hochman passed away. His widow Sima lit the Torch in his place.
