The beginning of this story lies in the Polish town of Czestochowa, where in 1935 the firstborn Richard was born in a poor Jewish family of Parasols. He was only four years old when World War II began. In 1941, the family was transported to the Jewish ghetto, whose population has halved in two years.

At the age of eight, Richard was secretly smuggled out of the camp. He lived in a Polish Catholic family, which kept his presence in the house in the strictest confidence - such children are called "hidden child", and it went on until the very end of the war.

Parasol's parents died in a concentration camp, the boy never saw them again after leaving the death camp. He had no brothers, no sisters, no relatives as well as home. Actually, all that he has left was life itself. Let's see how the person has disposed of such a wealth.

After the war was ended, the 10-year-old boy began his journey. In the status of an orphan refugee, for three years he traveled from Poland to Israel through continental Europe and eventually reached the destination in 1948. He started living and working in the kibbutz (something like a farm), and five years later he joined the Israeli army.

In 1956, the guy participated in the Suez crisis as a soldier. After the army, Parasol entered the institute, which he dropped out in 1964. Everything was put in motion from that moment.
