Yad Vashem

Yad Vashem announced that it will inaugurate an official branch in Munich within about three years. The initiative is expected to expand to additional countries in Europe as part of the fight against antisemitism and Holocaust denial.

At Yad Vashem’s state ceremony, the 88-year-old Holocaust survivor and former deputy president of the Haifa District Court led a moving El Malei Rachamim. In a heartfelt interview, he recalls his father risking beatings to bring home potatoes for Passover—and credits Hashem for his family’s survival.

Hidden during the Holocaust, he rebuilt his life and identity. A powerful story of survival, faith, and return.
