#170: Holocaust Shadows IV - Survivors, Liberators & Rescuers
Many Jews were reluctant first-hand witnesses to Nazi cruelty and suffering.
For many Hungarian survivors, often deliberately misled about the truth of Auschwitz's existence, betrayal only added to their pain. Risa Shayowitz - aged a young 95 years old - relays that tragedy, even as she looks only to move forward.
An American chaplain in the US Army in April 1945 - Rabbi Hershel Schachter - opened up the gates of Hell. In a little known recording, we hear him describe the piles of bodies, the still warm crematoria and the emaciated Jews he discovered there. His dedication gave life to many.
Our duty nowadays is to understand what Exile means and how Tisha B'Av gives us that ability.
