Stars Among Us

Israel Bornstein – Episode 5


Listen Later

For Israel Bornstein, growing up in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Orthodox rituals of Judaism were a central part of his family’s life. Unlike many in Europe, Danish Jewry lived peacefully shoulder to shoulder with non-Jewish neighbors. In the autumn of 1943, Israel’s fellow Danes helped to save the lives of Israel and his family in a daring escape to Sweden that kept nearly 8,000 Jews out of the hands of their Nazi occupiers. The complete story of Israel Bornstein’s Holocaust journey can be found in To Life: The Past Is Present, Holocaust Stories of Hampton Roads Survivors, Rescuers, and Liberators.
