An Incredible Story of Young prisoner who Made the NAZIS Pay for his Suffering - Joseph Schleifstein
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Joseph Schleifstein, the son of Jewish parents, was born on the 7 March 1941 in the Jewish ghetto in Sandomierz, which was located in the German-occupied Poland. Schleifstein and his parents - father Izrael and mother Esther - lived in the Sandomierz through its existence as a ghetto, from June 1942 through January 1943. After the liquidation of the ghetto the family was moved to the Czestochowa ghetto, where Joseph’s parents were presumably put to work in one of the HASAG factory camps.
During the Second World War, HASAG became a Nazi arms-manufacturing conglomerate with dozens of factories across German-occupied Europe using slave labour on a massive scale.

The fact that historical documents are censored for modern sensibilities is a slap in the face to all those who endured the atrocities of the Nazi folly. Reprehensible and totally disrespectful.
Exactly it pisses me off RUclips does that now .
give them a thumbs down
Hell yeah
I agree

My American History teacher, Mr. Abrams, included a unit on the nazi's attempt to kill all the Jews. The pictures were appalling and we all thought he was overdoing it because he was Jewish. He told us, we should never forget. As students we thought, how could anybody forget something so terrible. He was right and we were wrong. Thank you Mr. Abrams for making sure we would remember!
Fellow history teacher here. I agree. I warn my students, but I still show them. I tell them they must not forget. I am Australian and non-Jewish. So no agenda. Still do the same as your Mr Abrams - people are people. I also link it to what is happening now in the world. Unfortunately, we haven't heeded the past.
Included a unit ? What does that mean ?
My first exposure to the history of the Holocaust was on Walter Cronkite's TV show The Twentieth Century on CBS. It showed the bodies being piled on carts and dumped into a mass grave. My dad explained it to me the best he could. I was in middle school at the time, I didn't know enough then for it to have the impact that it does now.
@@somewherenicefarmstay6146the history we are taught in school is not accurate. The victors write and rewrite history and that is a fact. Modern man has lost the ability to discern
@@somewherenicefarmstay6146
Just out of curiosity how old are your students??
Thanks
I saw this little boy in a documentary about WW2. At the time I thought, I hope he survived. Now I know he did, and I even know his name. I am so glad. ❤
❤😚
Ze boy in ze striped pajamas, he was adorable!
I was 10 years old in 1957 when the unedited footage of the liberation of the concentration camps was released in the US and broadcast on TV on the Walter Cronkite show.
Seeing that footage at that age was profoundly traumatic and very enlightening for me.
Both my parents were WWII vets, both had experienced extreme adversity in their lives. And unfortunately the ways that they coped created a very toxic family culture. So I received no comfort whatsoever seeing the extent of human cruelty, and it helped me realize that just as no one had stopped the holocaust, just as no one had rescued millions, no one would rescue my family either.
The cruelty would go one for another five years until my dad escaped by dying.
I subsequently made a promise to my child self that I would never allow such horror to exist unchallenged, unstopped.
So throughout my life I have watched films, read books, EDUCATED myself.
This documentary is one of the best I’ve seen in my lifetime! Thanks very much for it!
My heart aches for what you’ve experienced in your life. But there is one who knows & loves you more deeply than you could possibly imagine, & His Name is Jesus. He longs for you to know Him.
Your story is also very touching. Thank you.
❤❤❤
You are well educated...what do you do with that education?
@@pauladubill6567 Oh yeah! Says you! Where was Jesus when people were suffering and dying in Buchenwald, Majdenek, Auschwitz and the rest of the death camp[s? People like you make me sick. You're just an apologist for fairy stories!
For people who want such images censored, remember it’s not about you and your feelings.
and its certainly not about your lack of feelings
Why censored - these are historical documents.
Eisenhower was right to MAKE the German citizens view the camps.
I don't want these images censored, but it most definitely is about our humanity and our empathy for the suffering of other people. After all what is it to be human?
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - George Santayana.
Welcome to the new age of repackaged Nazi ideals (under a different name) in 2024.... and World Wide AntiSemitism....
One of my teachers in High school in the year 1967 always wore long sleeved shirts. One day, his sleeve slipped up and you could see his "ID" number. The boys asked him about it, the girls were scared to, because he was a kind and smiling gentle soul. He got permission to hold a "special" history class. it ran 8 weeks. He impressed on all of us what happens if no one questions authority. The class of 1967 and 68 in our school had a higher than average number of people who volunteered for military service, almost all of them credited that teacher ( who asked his name never be used in stories of the holocaust) with making them realize that even good people can be made into bad people if they never question what people in power say.
Merci ☝️

We should also never forget, that holocaust can be repeated!

As always these real life stories need to be told over and over again in the hopes that this is never ever repeated again!
Why is this being repeated in Palestine?
Oct 7th 2023
@@thestuffoflife88 and you think it's the same thing? level of willful ignorance is staggering.
It has been repeated again, many, many times!
Again again and again!
I was an adventurous youngster from England during the 1950’s but I knew two things if I was extremely hungry. One was to never be afraid to call a Romany van and ask for something to eat, I was never ever refused. And the other thing was that if ever I saw a camp tattoo on a man’s arm he would always make sure I got something to eat. I travelled the world and finally settled down in New Zealand where I still am at 83 years of age.
That is a good story.
Would you be comfortable sharing watch you left the UK.
That last line is spot on. The problem is that a lot of people don't want to remember it because it is so painful. If history was not painful, then we would not learn anything from the past. I feel the more painful it is, the more ingrained the lesson is and the more unlikely it will be repeated.
You nailed that right. We must remember the lessons of history, even when they are painful to remember. If we forget these lessons, we are likely to repeat the atrocities.
We better remember it, otherwise it will happen again. All the signs are out there again.
Agreed. One thing that seems forgotten already is that along with the 6 million Jews that were murdered, there were 5 million others, who rarely get mentioned. They were Gypsies (Roma), communists, political opposition members, mentally and physically challenged, people who got caught trying to help the Jews, Gays and more. Pretty much never mentioned these days.
Don’t listen to AI
That is what BLM doesn’t understand. They removed civil war memorials in an attempt to erase history.
I took care of an elderly Jewish man in a Jewish nursing home here in Melbourne and I remember seeing his arm tattoo.
He was a boy during the Holocaust and I remember that he was very short in adulthood.
I felt sad for him, even though he'd obviously survived. He had dementia and was unable to speak, so as I took care of him, I'd think of lots of questions about his life, that we sadly weren't able to discuss.
I didn't know for sure, but I suspected that childhood starvation had stunted his growth.
I'm so glad that I had the privilege of taking care of survivors. They will always be the Lord God of Israel's treasured possession, His Chosen People.
"The apple of His eye", as Zechariah says.
Beautiful comment.
Bless you, too, for your loving care.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
You can't be God's chosen if you reject him
Israel is no longer the chosen people of God.
@sookie4195 don't listen to bible bashing born again Christians, they are hypocrites.
Precious little Joseph ❤️
What an incredible account of survival.
I'm glad to have been introduced to him here in this video, as I've wondered about him every time I've seen his little face looking at us in documentary footage.
It's an incredible blessing for the family that Joseph's parents survived, as that precious little boy might not have survived his PTSD, and then the next precious generation of Jewish children wouldn't have been born.
Am Y'israel Chai!❤
Thank you for sharing his story! I pray for today's Jews and Israel. Never forget, means never forget!
Yes, pray for alle the grilled Babies, world is stupid enough to trust any liar.
Never Again is Now!!!!
Pray for those who died in the Holodomor too, and in Armenia, the Indians, and the Native Americans.
Palestine 🇵🇸 is experiencing a genocide. Israel 🇮🇱 shame on you .
@@swissgirlie1 Nooo, we stand with Ehrlos Rotzkrakeel.
That there are still people who deny that this happened fills me a deep loathing. That these people who survived this were able to get on with their lives is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. May God bless them all. Never forget.
Deniers have a mental illness! There is so much footage from so many varied sources and so many testimonies, they have to be blind or mentally imbalanced to deny the evidences clearly there!
The truth is worst than the visible truth of the concentration , extermination camps , you just have to look , think , put the dots together , ask yourself , why , how , the truth is in the photos , images , testimonies and is true , but not the total truth and that truth is terrenal and diabolical
So miraculous how Joseph Schleifstein and his parents survived the Holocaust. A poignant and inspiring story of how people can overcome adversity, even under the worst circumstances. Thank you for this eye-opening video.
If one hasn't been made already a movie would be great about his and his family's unique story. A Jewish boy being hid not only by his dad but also camp guards. Plus a great ending where he gets to be with both his parents again.
@@necromora666The film “Life Is Beautiful” is mentioned during the documentary I believe, or maybe in one of the comments. It’s evidently based on this child’s experience. An indescribably powerful wise enlightening work of art, history and education!!
Please don’t get too carried away with romantic ideas of how people “overcome adversity”. Most did not. And most of those who did simply survive (not “overcome”) suffered greatly their whole lives. Part of the legacy of the holocaust may be the atrocities of Gaza.
@@cacampbell3654no. The jewish community by far has shown resilience amidst adversity. Before they were meek and did not fight back. Now they are strong and are able to defend themselves yet the world labels them as evil for doing so. They have survived despite the overwhelming odds by working hard to prove their worth. They didnt go whine and complain about their situation but rather strived hard to make it better. Unlike the palestinians who refuse to live with them in peace, keep on terrorizing the israelis, then go whine and complain when the IDF strikes back.
@@cacampbell3654Meaning the atrocities by Humas you must mean.
I'm an 81 year old Vietnam vet and witnessed horrible things, but absolutely nothing compared to this! All of these horrors make me want to vomit! Best of luck to mankind, even though it appears we don't deserve it!

❤ FOR WHOOPIE GOLDBERG WHO SAID THE HOLOCAUST WASN'T ABOUT ELIMINATING A RACE, BUT IT WAS ABOUT " MANS INHUMANITY TO MAN!" SHE SHOULD MEET WITH HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS, AND SAY THAT! LIKE TO KNOW WHO MADE HER A AUTHORITY! WHEN SOME SURVIVORS LOST EVERY MEMBER OF THEIR FAMILY! EASY TO TALK WHEN YOU NEVER LIVED IT! ❤
Forget the hateful OW
She had made friends with the devil to ensure her success in the world, and that makes her stupid. "Man's inhumanity to man"? Would she dismiss black slavery in the same way, as though race had no part in it?
Why should you even pay attention to a remark from someone like her?
She's a horrible 'woman'.
Hell, she's even stolen a Jews last name.
Growing up, I remember the stories of survivors, I worked with a Polish lady who had the tattoo, she never covered it up, she was a proud survivor. It still breaks my heart.
Did she was Jewish?
This needs to be shown in schools !
History education in schools these days are very controlled. They will never learn the truth about this country and its leaders. The educators are even a let down these days. Tisk tisk
Be warned, this could happen again, stay alert!
It IS already happening again....on College Campuses and the halls of world politics...the evil idea is still alive and kicking....we didn't stamp it out.
Not “could”!
Has happened again! Is happening now! Wake up!

Our enemies revelled and still do so in their barbarity.
it is happening in Palestine has been for decades
My mother was at Bergen Belsen not long after it was liberated while serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force & she said she would never forget what she witnessed there and only talked with me about it one time and was very emotional about it!
Living through those horrific events would make anyone with a heart, emotional. Never Again. Down with the Cancel Culture. History must be preserved, not destroyed. Otherwise, the worst of it will be repeated.
She did her duty to humanity by passing her story to you.
Mankind can be so cruel
Did your mother mention who were the Kapo and what was their part in all of this ?
No, she did not tell you that part. I wonder why...
@user-rm8gt6qq3r The worst of that was the Sonderkommando.
Joseph Schleifstein is the embodiment of parental love, hope, & resilience that makes us better human beings. Hi survival made a difference in this world.
Thank you for showing J. Schleifstein as a little boy in Buchenwald. He has such a cute face, heartwarming. I am glad that he testified in court against the Nazi's. Good on you mate.❤❤💪💪
We must never forget. The shame is our history is "sanitized" for today's children.
It’s not for the children of today it’s censored so that people keep a blind eye on what’s happening once again in the world. God Bless the Survivors and their families, Then and Now! 🙏
Yet they will teach them about american slavery but kept from them African slavery, European slavery meaning the slave trade was alive and well globally and is till in Africa and in some Muslim countries.
Too right can't upset today's youth they are made out of sugar
@@ataraw.6142 In Australia we have far more freedom to teach authentic history that covers all perspectives. In Year 10 students are learning about First Nation Australians and the Freedom Rides started by Charlie Perkins. The impact this had on the Australian culture (still a way to go). How modern Australian music was influenced by First Nation people even when they were deprived of freedoms that others took for granted. I would mention to students multiple times a year when it comes up in conversation - there are more slaves today then there ever was in historical times. I do feel for our American teachers when I read there is so much censorship of what can be taught in schools. I know I would be in constant trouble for telling the truth. Shame on those that try to silence the truth.
I have seen Joseph in countless documentaries, in the video with the wooden scooter. I'd always wondered about the little boy, and what happened to him. Thank you for bringing us his, and his parents, story. Never forget.
Thank you
I saw his photo with the Scooter and it broke my heart. I was only young when I saw him so this may sound silly. I always imagined if I were there I’d scoop him up and cuddle and kiss him telling him it would be ok.
@@mariestreeting4213 He looks the way you want to hug him :)
How can anybody say this never happened? Tragic.
Sadly , there were worst things happening at the camps, too harsh to share for the people to handle.
this is made up history , this never happened ! but it’s happening in Palestine and we are the witness
Because they are jerks.
Very ignorant people. Uneducated.
On October 7 2023 a nazi group called Hamas butchered 1500 Jews among diabolic torture, and the world celebrated while saying it never happened.
Australia did take in surviving children of Buchenwald.
I have a copy of the film 'Buchenwald Boys' on DVD, which I'm going to watch now.
My mother had met one of the Buchenwald Boys when he was an adult, and she spoke with great respect for him.
The Boys met together regularly and had an uplifting appreciation for life and family. Everyone who met them loved them.
Thank you WorldHistoryVideos.
We must try to always keep history intact and preserved for the sake of Truth to the future of human experience.
Denying, distorting, covering, exaggerarating and destroying history merely condemns our abilities to advance beyond the same.
Absolutely Amazing! Life is Beautiful was a very good film. However, it was also an extremely sad reminder of just how cruel human beings can be to one another. I am happy to hear that both of Joseph's parents survived the war. That was not the norm.
Humans are cruel to animals. I'm not talking about pets. When you have a right to act out violence against any living creature, humans are included in the very same list.
Thank you for telling Joseph's story. I have always been fascinated by his image.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy to present you his story :)

What an amazing story! The fact that this whole family survived the Holocaust, and they all went to a concentration camp, is probably one of the only families that did!

Glad that the family survived the horrors of world war 2.
If Joseph is alive, he must be just over 85 now.
I wish him peaceful and happy years ahead.
Well done History Channel!!Such a miraculous and moving story. Thank you for sharing it in such a tasteful manner, yet exposing the Nazi atrocities.
Once again, I beg the peoples of the world to stop their prejudices, hatred, intolerance, and "looking the other way"...
Thank you
Joseph Shleifstein is my father. To say that this trauma affected him everyday of his nearly 85 years is a horrific understatement. He lives in Florida and is surrounded by his family. Watching this video makes me sad and proud at the same time. Next month, my husband and I will be taking a trip to Germany, my first time there. I am unsure how I will feel. I wish I could post a picture of him today…he looks similar to the photos here except 80 years older.
Please give him my best wishes and say shalom
It's a crime to cencor away the horror! Than nobody realices how terryfiing it was!
Exactly! That's why the media refuses to show the atrocities of Oct 7th, 2023, that Hamas did to their next-door neighbors who are Jewish!
Thank you for the story of Joseph Scheifstein😢😢
Those who choose to ignore the past are doomed to repeat it.
Yes, it’s repeating itself now once again 😩😡
When I was a child a man lived down the street in Bradford, England, in the 70s kid's used to be horrible to him,because they thought that he was German. I asked my mum why they were like this, because he was from Germany. So I didn't believe her, when I saw him going to the shops. I asked him his name ( I was scared). He replied Joseph Kowlovski, he asked mine, I replied Sean. I asked him were he was from, and he replied that he was from Poland. Ah the penny dropped. I will not ever judge a book by its cover again. Always seek the truth.
That brought tears to my eyes… my final Religion class in college Was on the holocaust. I learned more in that class than I learned in any other class in my 16 years of structured education! Its heart wrenching What they all endured and what they are enduring again in Israel 🙏
All of our schools, colleges, and universities should take warning of what would happen to them when they wii face God's judgment on how they treated their Jewish neighbors and co-workers. This also applies to those who deny that the Holocaust had never happened. MY FATHER was aserviceman during WW2 and he had seen the results of Anti- Semitism for himself. Thank God for that brave boy Joseph and his family and that their lives were spared. God's justice will be served!! Israel still lives and God's hand of protection will always be upon them. 10:36
I’m an educator, and while I can’t tell my very young students about the details while they are still so young, I do remember and teach the lessons I’ve learned from the survivors: to love one another, to be hopeful, to always be kind, and to stand up for what you believe in.
I hope someday some of them will be able to carry on these lessons of humanity to the next generation.
We need to remember we are all human and love one another. Just because we think or act differently, doesn’t mean we can’t love and value others and their life. Tolerance and appreciation for others is what makes our world a better place.

Thank you for this information. I have seen Joseph in so many documentaries over the years and I always wondered who he was and what became of him. His face as a child was haunting and so beautiful - a reminder of how much humanity lost because of hate & violence. I hope it never happens again. These are sad days in America.. So many seem not to have learned from history

Disgusting how evil some humans were/are.
I was a single father in the 80s with full custody of a little daughter in grade school. Working nights I found an elderly married couple who wanted to be my baby sitter since their kids were grown up. The lady was delighted to care for my little girl and the husband became fond of me since he never had a son. Anyway He was 17 in 44 and enlisted in regular army, went to Germany and was among the liberators of the death camps. He enjoyed telling me his war stories, and I was glad to listen! He saw the horrific aftermath of the SS guards abandoning the camps and on the run now the people were free! I was in my 30s at this time and was honored to meet and hear his firsthand knowledge of it all!!!!
Thank you for just another valuable contribution!
Thank you so much :)
Thank you for providing his story.
I’ve always wondered about this boy. He has a name and survived to tell what happened.
It’s unbelievably true. What some humans do to others with no remorse or feeling is awful. I love that little boy x
This little boy was more of a man then most men today.
Rediculous. He only survived because the they WERENT killing them. How the fk would he make it to the end of the war if not? Do people even question this crap?
@WatchmyPlaylist. CRAP you are calling the Holocaust CRAP! May the EVIL that covered Germany's death camps visit you some night until you FEEL its terrifying REALITY.
@@WatchmyPlaylist. He survived because he was strongly protected by his father and because he became a mascot of the guards. Unfortunately, 6 million Jews and 5 million Europeans of other background were killed. Imagine some people denying the Holocaust. Do people even question and motives the crap of the deniers?
WE HAVE TO REMEMBER OUR HISTORY
My grandpa escaped from Buchenwald and wrote a book about it.
When I was around 7 in 1949 i ask my mother why the clerk in Woolworth's had a number "written on her arm". Mother told me when we get home I will explain. She did just that. She told me about the concentration camps, and that many people were murdered, both adults and children, and it would be up to my generation to see it did not happen again, and yo explain to my children what happened and to teach them they must be sure it did not happen in their generation. I had a most wise mother. She told me each generation had to make sure the Holocaust did not repeat, because each generation has very cruel members of that generation.
Thank you, hope we continue learning.
That’s shocking the kid was still alive! Thank you SO much for his story! In many years of studying the Holocaust, I’ve seen little Joseph’s pictures hundreads of tomes and every time broke my heart because I was so sure he had been killed. Now I know he made it I will no longer be sad when I see his pictures but smile!
This is a Huge part of the History of the world!!!! There should be NO SENSORING of this and and EVERYONE should know just what happen and why Hate is the downfall of all..
I’ve always wondered about that little boy. Thank you🙂❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for being with us :)
Brave little man. Endured such torment and horror. Yet still had a smile on his face, with tears still im his eyes. Praying this story has an ending where this man went on to have a good life surrounded by people he loved, and children to make him smile.
Hopefully he has written a book about his life’s experiences. Would really appreciate hearing a lecture from him if he was willing.
It's always good to hear a story with a happy ending when lost in ze darkness and fog of ze Holocaust.
I would have said "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat, humans are cursed to repeat our ancestors human evils."
A Good Presentation on this Brave Boy🙂👋
Wow! What a story of perseverance, survival and resilience. All those other children that were executed is just too horrible to describe.
I just finished reading "Cold Crematorium". The author predicted, when he wrote it in the 1950's, that in the future people would deny the Holocaust had ever happened.
Thank you Very Much for revealing this little guy's name. I have to admit this picture did bring me to tears. I had seen him more than several times and wondered who we was.
Now I and others know!!
Many Thanks for bringing his story to the world!!!
What a horrible and terrifying situation it must have been for the children. It truly breaks my heart.
He looks just like his father. Also, the German people knew what was going on! Look what they did to their Jewish neighbors on Kristallnacht.
How could they not know when the Jews were being taken away.
Was not disclosed to the public as to their end demise. Many local also lived in fear to speak out about anything. Same as today in any dictatorship.. puplic are brainwashed .. and or others will just keep quiet or risk their lives. Always innocents suffer for bad leaders. 😢
Only 20 percent of the German populace supported the National Socialist Party of Hitler, and those who publicly denounced the Nazi party were either killed or sent to the death camps as well. I had a relative who lived in Dresden during WW2, who was a German Nurse, and she secretly opposed the Nazis, and hid her Jewish friend in her apartment, until they were both killed in the 2nd wave of the bombing of Dresden.
Thank you. I’ve seen many pictures of Joseph and wondered what his story was.
Now you know... Thank you for being with us.
Smartest man i knew Rabbi Sandburg a substitute teacher in Allegany County Maryland once rolled up his sleeve to show the class his tatoo number and shared his concentration camp truism. A lot of were crying ecen the tuff guys. RIP
Have seen this young boy and wondered what happened to him. Thanks for letting us know he survived and thrived.
This is very true, we are seeing this history trying to be repeated again now in America, but we will not allow it to happen
It's already happening. Joseph Kennedy - JFK's father was a Nazi or nazi sympathizer. That's why he could never run for President. Nazis used the Democrat's jim crowe laws and crossed out negro and put jew. Same people as today. Doing the same thing to Israel. So many people will vote for democrats not knowing what they're doing.
Such a brave young man!
Has anybody studied not only the children, but all ranges of people that survived. We hear of PTSD, these people HAVE to had some form of it. They're dying rapidly, time is short.
Excellent informative video….THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤
Why is this being censored? These days the pictures should be seen.
I'm so happy the little boy survived. Thank you for the story.
I’m 64 years old and I cannot understand the cruelty that we as human beings can do to each other because of color religion ethnicity and we continue to do around the world today. Have we learned nothing
None of the footage of the holocaust should ever be edited or censored. This was a senseless tragedy that happened that everyone should see and hear about. This wasn't a movie, this real life! The last line is absolutely the truth, thats why its so important for it to be told.. all of it.. no matter what !
We are repeating it now. Worldwide tragedy!
03:40. Never underestimate the capacity for sentimentality among utterly brutal people.
It's amazing that Germany says it would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he stepped on German soil. What is one more Jew to them?
Where does your information come from? Germany absolutely supports Israel. They are so full of guilt and at the same time still don't understand their own atrocity during the Nazi era, so they support everything without thinking twice when it comes from Israel.
Except he is an alleged criminal jew, rather than an totally innocent one. He would be arrested and tried as a war criminal, rather than like the millions who were arrested/murdered for simply being Jewish. Ie innocent of any crimes
Hi, from Germany. That is not clear at the moment. The international court of justice has not finally decided.
Germany has submitted this international court, but on the other hand there is a law of immunity for presidents from other countries.
It was discussed hypothetically at the moment.
It is for sure that we would arrest Putin, if putting a foot on German ground.
When it will come to the same accuse to Nethanjahu, it is told, that we must act equally.
But believe me, this decision would be a very hard step. No one in Germany is longing for that.
The reason for submitting the international court of judge WAS the Holocaust.
What a sweet baby!! His eyes and smile are very revealing. It breaks my heart. So glad he made it.
I am ashamed that my country did this. Horrified when I finally found out the full scope of it once in America. I said it could happen here. Now here we are at that cross road of fascism and democracy in this country in 2024
Thank you for telling Joseph's story. Like many, I have seen the picture of him, and was very interested regarding his past as well as his future.
God bless all the broken hearts and souls.
"Life is Beautiful" is a wonderful film, for those who have not seen it.
This one made me cry.
We felt the same ...
Precious little boy! You're so very brave! ❤
We had the one day Holocaust in Israel on October 7! It has never ended and now antisemitism is at tsunami levels.
A name to a face so many have seen. Thank you.
