The Child Survivor of Buchenwald — Microshort Stories Episode 5

He was seven years old when his mother pushed him toward his older brother on a deportation platform. His father, the last chief rabbi of Piotrków, was murdered at Treblinka after charging the family that the chain must not break. A Soviet prisoner of war and an American army chaplain helped keep the boy alive at Buchenwald. He became Chief Rabbi of Israel. Microshort Stories are 3D animated short films that bring individual Holocaust stories to life in 90 seconds. Each episode focuses on one person — one act of courage, resistance, or witness.
