David Nussboym was a Jew living in Lodz during the 1940s. When the Race's Conquest Fleet drove the Nazis out of Poland he began to collaborate with the Race. This became a problem for Mordechai Anielewicz when Anielewicz tried to inform the Wehrmacht of the Race's movements. Anielewicz had Nussboym knocked unconscious and taken to the Soviet border.

Nussboym was shipped to a gulag where he was forced to work until prisoners of the Race arrived. David was able to move up in the camp hierarchy by the virtue of fluency in the Race's language. He subsequently worked his way out of the camp by proving his worth and denouncing the right people.

Nussboym would eventually be reacquainted with Mordechai Anielewicz when USSR had information to give to Anielewicz regarding the attack against the Colonization Fleet in 1962. Nussboym thoroughly hated Anielewicz.

Nussboym would be able to get his revenge on Anielewicz when Vyacheslav Molotov gave Nussboym free reign to kill him as reward for rescuing him from the NKVD during their attempted coup. This free reign would end with Nussboym's repeated failure and Molotov ordering him to provide clandestine assistance to the Race in Poland during the Race-German War of 1965.

During the war, and the nuclear holocaust that consumed most of Poland, Nussoboym was exposed to high levels of radiation that miraculously did not kill him but virtually guaranteed his eventual death by cancer.
