Born Joseph Markowitz on July 11th, 1924 in Lodz Poland. Joseph Morton now lives in Illinois. He grew up in a Jewish Neighborhood, and went to a public school. He had five brothers and one sister of which he was the oldest. His family lived in a small house with only one bedroom where they all slept. Also there was a living room and a kitchen. Some of his family lived on the same floor in the same building. Joseph's father worked as a tailer.
Joseph remembers the day the Germans came and rounded up his brothers and sister and himself. He had already been as he calls it, the “bread provider” to his siblings for a while at the time. Having been the oldest the responsibility of taking care of his family fell to him.
