During the war, Trepman lived in the Warsaw area with Aryan papers. He was arrested in June 1943 and accused of being a Soviet spy.

In July 1945 he was the founding coeditor of Undzer Shtimme, the first Jewish newspaper in the British Zone. Trepman was also an editor of Zamy Feder's Anthology of Songs and Poems from the Ghettos and Concentration Camps, and was co-editor, again with Olewsky and Rosental, of an early photo album of the Holocaust, the multilingual Undzer Churbn in Bild, (Our Destruction in Pictures, Bergen-Belsen, 1946).
