The Jews

The soul of Max Shindler left the earthly plain, June 16th, 2014; he was 82, (although no formal records indicate such). He was born August 7th, 1931, in Liverpool, England, his mother's name is Rose Levy; his father's name is Edward Shindler, both are Jews of Polish descent. He has two siblings; Alan Shindler is his brother; Reva Berman his sister. He lived in Liverpool until he was evacuated to Wales during the Second World War; it was here he first encountered open anti-Semitism; on many occasions he was forced to eat his meals in the outhouse on the farm where he lived; such traumatizing incidents left lifelong scars on his psyche. He would never disregard the humiliation he felt due to this abuse, or forget that many of his relations were executed in Buchenwald, and died in the boxcars before arriving at Buchenwald. He left his family home during his late teens, and traveled to Israel, where he became a member of the Israeli Army, and later joined England's Royal Air Force and became a member of a bomb disposal unit. He was head of advertising department at Avon, and worked for many years with his wife in visual merchandising. He married Pearl, (who was born in Liverpool, England), in 1957, on the Isle of Man. A year later his daughter Nicola was born; three years after, Simone; his youngest child, Nigel, was born in the year 1964; he was known to always be loyal, generous, and nurturing, toward his three children, and all his grandchildren. He had an immense appreciation for the arts; he played the classical guitar; became a talented photographer; he studied various languages, and became fluent in German, Hebrew and Yiddish; he loved opera, and classical music. Max Shindler was passionate about learning his entire life, and read voraciously on every topic under the Sun. Max Shindler sacrificed his life for the betterment of mankind; he will be reborn, as is the case with all Jews, and the story of creation will continue.
