Alex was born on June 17, 1940, while his mother Rose was attempting to flee Belgium as the Nazis detained many. Prior to his birth, his father, Ludwig Metzger, was apprehended, detained, and taken to a holding camp called Breendonk, for a week, and was then relocated to several other Nazi camps until his final transfer to Auschwitz in 1944, where he perished.
