2019 Survivor Testimonials

We asked the grandparents of the current 2019 IST students, to share their painful and inspirational stories of survival through the holocaust. We will be posting their testimonials over the week during our time in Poland.

We thank them for putting in the time to share their stories, and remind us of the importance to never forget the atrocity that befell the Jewish people during the second world war.
