Excerpt from Yiddish article in Der Yid’s January 24, 2020 edition
Four years ago, U.S. Pilot, Mr. Alan Golub, had a reunion in Pesach Tikvah in Williamsburg with a number of the women he took heroic measures to help by providing them with food and clothing following the Holocaust.
A heroic Jewish American pilot has died at the age of 95. Mr. Alan Golub jeopardized his financial well-being while in a foreign county following World War II to help a group of young, frum Hungarian Jewish refugees at Eschwege Displaced Person’s Camp, a former German air force base in the Frankfurt district of the American-occupied zone.
Four years ago, Pesach Tikvah arranged for the emotional reunion of Mr. Golub with a number of the women he had helped when they were young girls in Eschwege. Their extended families were on hand as well to thank Mr. Golub for his generous actions.
“The reunion in Williamsburg was really the highlight of Alan’s life,” a close family member told the UJO. “His feeling of happiness with being reunited with these women was something special. A big thank you is due to UJO for playing a role in bringing this story to light even though Alan never sought recognition for what he had done.”
Those who have now heard the story will always remember his great and heroic deeds.
