Rabbi Mitchell Silk: From a Chinese Restaurant to Hong Kong to the White House

At war's end, the piteous, battered remnants of a once proud Hungarian Jewry began making their way back to their hometowns in search of fellow survivors. The Katz family was no different. Or were they? Nine out of ten siblings from one family - an almost unheard of survival rate - escaped death to be reunited. This is their story - and what a story it was! Resourcefulness, courage and amazing acts of heroism, showing kindness to their fellow Jews, at the risk of their own lives; flight, imprisonment, deportation and escape; hope, despair, prayer and faith; these are some of the elements that combine to create a Holocaust saga unlike any you've ever heard before   Watch his "9 Lessons" Video here: https://youtu.be/iQVc3iGwzFk   Buy his book here: https://bit.ly/44e2twE   If you are reading this, please rate our podcast 5 stars :)   Lchaim!!
