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.
