...Men sedan hans barnbarn överlevde massakern den 7 oktober i Kibbutz Kfar Aza är 92-åringen mer beslutsam än någonsin att vittna."
Holocaust survivors who began again in Israel tell their stories in the shadow of Oct. 7
AFP — For years, Auschwitz survivor Naftali Furst kept his story to himself.
But since his granddaughter survived the October 7 massacre at Kibbutz Kfar Aza — one of the bloodiest in Hamas’s unprecedented onslaught on Israel that saw some 1,200 people brutally slaughtered and 251 kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, sparking the war there — the 92-year-old is more determined than ever to testify.
With antisemitism at levels rarely seen since World War II, Furst warned that “if we forget our history, we risk seeing it repeat itself.”
Eighty years after the Red Army liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp on January 27, 1945, AFP reached out to Holocaust survivors who rebuilt their lives in Israel.
Several came through the horrors of that slaughterhouse in occupied Poland where 1 million of the 6 million Jews killed in the Shoah were murdered, and which has become a symbol of the genocide perpetrated by Nazi Germany.
