The car involved in the crash, a Maserati Quattroporte, was found abandoned a few blocks away at Mammoth Avenue and Milbank Street. It did not have license plates.

    Am I doing the math wrong? If he was 80 years old, he was born in 1946. VE day was in 1945. How could he be a Holocaust survivor?

      He probably hadn’t had his birthday yet this year. His mother may have had him shortly before VE day, in one of the death camps.

      Edit: reading the article, he may have been a Holodomor survivor?

        That’s what it sounds like. I have heard people call the holodomor the Ukrainian holocaust, IIRC.
