Video: Survivor of Auschwitz Returns in Defiance

“There are no words to describe the emotion felt as I witnessed my grandfather relieve his experiences at the entrance of the death camp – Auschwitz-Birkenau. The same place he stood 73 years ago as a small child,” says the grandson of Rabbi Nissen Mangel, who returned to Auschwitz this week in defiance after narrowly surviving the camp and its infamous “doctor” Jospeh Mangele YMS as a 10-year-old boy.

    This brings years to my eyes. I have heard much more details from Rabbi Mangel.

    The main point he claims is that anyone who survived only saw miracles. It only made him believe more in Hashem Yisborach!

    Rabbi Mangel told me that the root of the souls of Israel are rooted in the absolute essence of G-D, the atzmus, vemehus ain-sof ! Mamish the essence of the creator! Every Jew is ETERNAL, may we have the resurrection of the JEWISH PEOPLE now! Told to me in the year of 1983

  • Best Holocaust story

    My mother, A”H, also a Holocaust survivor – I let her hear Rabbi Mangel’s recorded lecture of his experience. She said, This is the best Holocaust story I ever heard. Such a little boy going through all this.”
