Son of Moishe and Liba Saleschutz Kornfeld, Henoch was born in Kolbuszowa, Poland. Around Henoch's first birthday, Germany invaded Poland and soon reached Kolbuszowa. Polish soldiers on horses tried to fight against the German army, but they were no match for tanks. After a short battle, there were many dead horses in the streets. Henoch's town came under German rule.
A German police commander named Hafenbier terrorized and killed many of the town's Jews. Henoch and his family were deported to the Rzeszow ghetto on June 25, 1942, and then to the Belzec extermination camp on July 7 where they were gassed. Henoch was 3 and a half years old.
