- Errikos Sevillias was born to a Sephardic Jewish family in Athens, Greece. He learned how to work in leather as a child and opened his own leather workshop at age 16. From 1919 until 1923, he served in the Greek army, fighting in the Greco-Turkish conflict in the aftermath of World War I. Afterwards, he reopened his workshop in Athens, married, and had a daughter. Following the Nazi invasion of Greece in World War II, he was deported to the death camp at Auschwitz, but survived. Errikos was killed on the street by a motorcycle in 1974, and the manuscript of his Holocaust memoir was found among his personal papers. It was translated into English by Nikos Stavroulakis and published by Lycabettus Press as Athens to Auschwitz in 1987.
