He Gave Us Life- The Story of David Cassuto

David Cassuto was born in Florence, Italy in 1937, to Hannah and Nathan. During the Second World War, his father served as a doctor and as chief rabbi of the Florence Jewish community. In 1943, as deportations of Italian Jewry to the extermination camps began, his family scattered in different hiding places. His father was an underground member, and helped rescue Jews until he was caught and arrested. In trying to release his father, his mother was also caught and imprisoned. The two were interrogated and then sent to Auschwitz. During this period, David and his siblings, under assumed identities, were hidden in various locations unaware of the fate of their parents. David, his brother and sister survived the war, and after the liberation of Italy, immigrated to pre-state Israel, where they were received in Jerusalem by their grandparents, Prof. Moshe Cassuto and his wife Simcha who raised them. David would go on to become an architect and a lecturer in architecture.

I was touched by the story of David Moshe Cassuto and his family. His parents’ struggle to safeguard him and his siblings, and how close he remained with his cousins. His maternal grandparents were their saving grace. “Be fruitful and multiply,” and he did, when he married his wife Naomi Cohen. Truly a heart wrenching documentary. I’ve been to Florence, Italy, so I understand his love for their art and history.

Your wish will come true sooner than you think David. Messiacha, Iezu din'Saren, will come back and establish the New Jerusalem which will be the Center not only of the Universe, but of the Invisible Realm as well. I pray that you and all your loved accepts Him as the Son of the Almighty, the Messiacha, when the Illumination of Consciences takes place. So that you too may enjoy Eternal Life. Shalom.
