Frank Bright, formerly Frantisek Brichta, was born in Berlin, the son of a Czech Jew. The family moved to Prague just before the Nazis in 1938. They were sent to Terezin and thence to Auschwitz. Frank remained in Auschwitz only for a short while and survived the war in a small concentration camp in Silesia , KZ Friedland. The rest of the family perished. Frank had relations in London to whom he was sent as a displaced person after the war.
