#134 - Tisha B'Av Episode - The Hideout in Slovakia
Rabbi Yossi Steiner spent the war years on the run - as a child - and survived through a series of miracles.
He found himself alone in a ghetto, needing to take care of his 5 year old brother. He hid in a bunker for 9 months, whilst Nazis came searching with trained dogs. He crossed borders through forests and fields and spent months pretending to be a mute child.
His story and that of the non-jewish family who saved him, must be heard...
