Jerzy Gross aka Michael Emge (1929-2014) was one of the survivors of the Shoah and the extermination camps. He told his story in a 2014 book: "Spiel mir das Lied vom Leben. Judith und der Junge von Schindlers Liste" (by Angela Krumpen). This book was translated into Italian with the title "Il violinista di Schindler".

The correct pronunciation of the name Jerzy is in fact "YEH-zhih" (the closest approximation I could make.) The most common nickname for Jerzy is Jurek, which is doubtless what your colleague was referring to.
