Mr. Ilzecki
Vladek’s cousin, the brother of Miloch and Pesach. Haskel is the chief of the Jewish Police in Srodula. He helps Vladek, Anja, and Lolek escape the detention center in Srodula, but refuses to help Mr. and Mrs. Zylberberg. Haskel is unctuous and self-serving, always trying to ingratiate himself with the Nazis — Vladek calls him a crook.
