Nicholas Peters was born April 8, 1915 in Bergthal Estate, Schoenfeld, South Russia. He was the eleventh child of Isaac and Elizabeth Peters. In 1918, he moved with his parents to a village called Landskrone about 75 miles south of Bergthal. The years 1921-1923 the family experienced starvation and this affected his physical well being; he contracted a skin disease which plagued him for many years.
