Robert Koblikowsky, born in 1912 in Kaunas in Lithuania, had been working as a tailor before he was forced to move into Kaunas Ghetto in 1941.

He was eventually liberated from Dachau concentration camp and registered a men’s tailoring business in Dreimühlenstrasse in 1946. Together with Pesche Preiss, born in Kaunas in 1917, a survivor of Stutthof concentration camp, he emigrated to Canada in 1949.
