When his family was about to be deported, the family ran to the mountains, dug out an underground shelter and expected to be liberated by the advancing Red Army. However, the war continued for another seven months and his family remained in hiding, desperately trying to survive, according to Spitz.
After the WW2 Czechoslovakia became a Communist country. According to Spitz, the country was far from friendly to Jews.
Spitz became an engineer, chemist and a glassmaker. Eventually he and his wife escaped to the West and he became free to create and exhibit his painting and sculptures.
