Schwam's father was a doctor, while his mother Malcie created a library in the Rivesaltes camp in 1942, one of the many set up to imprison Jews. Friedal Reiter, a young Swiss social worker, wrote a diary that contained information about the family's history. It is thought that Reiter helped the family move to Chambon-sur-Lignon after the Rivesaltes camp closed in November 1942. Schwam was placed in a children's home run by Secours Suisse, a sub-sector of the Red Cross of Switzerland which helped children during the Second World War. His mother also worked there. The entire family survived the war and his parents returned to Austria. Schwam later studied pharmacy at the University of Leon in 1950 and graduated in 1957.
