Born to a Jewish family in Leipzig, Germany, Bild and his family fled to Belgium after the Nazi Kristallnacht pogrom in late 1938. From 1943 until the end of World War II, Bild and his brother were hidden with the help of the Committee for the Defence of Jews within the Belgian Resistance. After the war, the Bilds immigrated to Montreal, Canada, in 1948.
