Chaim Itsl Goldstein, also known as Charles Goldstein, was born in 1900 in Warsaw, Congress Poland in Russian Empire. He was a worker and a leftist activist. He emigrated to Paris in 1930. During World War II, Goldstein was arrested and transported to Auschwitz concentration camp. In October 1943, he was taken to Warsaw, where he worked in the Warsaw Ghetto ruins after the unsuccessful Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Goldstein was liberated during Warsaw Uprising and participated in it. After the uprising's failure, he hid in a bunker in the destroyed and deserted city. His memoirs Zibn in bunḳer (Eng. Seven in the bunker, known also as The Bunker) have been published in Yiddish, Hebrew, English, French and Polish.
