Born in 1929 in the Brest-Litovsk region of Poland, Riteman was one of eight children. In 1941, German forces rounded up the Riteman family along with thousands of other Polish Jews, herding them ino the Pruzhany ghetto.

During the winter of 1942 the Ritemans were transported to the Auschiwitz concentration camp. By 1945, Riteman was the last member of his family. He was on a death march in 1945 when he was liberated by American soldiers in the Tyrolean Alps.
