Surviving the Holocaust: Yaakov Hollander's Story
Ya'akov Hollander was a ten-year-old boy living in Krakow, Poland, when WWII broke out. Deported from his home and eventually crammed into the Krakow ghetto, Ya'akov passed through twelve different concentration camps during the Holocaust. A walking skeleton when he was finally liberated, Yaakov had lost both his parents and most of his family in the Holocaust. With his world completely destroyed, Yaakov turned to music in an attempt to cope with his loss. Joining a children's choir in a camp for child survivors, Yaakov forged a lifelong bond with music, becoming a composer, musical arranger and choir conductor. Despite all of the horror he faced as a child, through the help of music, Yaakov has managed to remain an optimistic person.

How he cryed over that cake and his brother....... heartbreaking, it really is.
because of people like you they should tell the story again and again
man i feel sorry for the brother and it must be sad no being able to help ur siblings survive ='(
i cannot believe people at the time let this happen. did they not comprehend the implications of furthering their approval towards this cause ? It's destroyed so many lives, its shocking ! and to think some people in the world out there believe that it actually did not take place at all !
I feel sorry for the Jewish people, all the more because same thing happened to us Serbs in Balkans. I know how they felt, and how they still feel. That is the pain that never goes away. Rest in peace Jewish brothers! :(
@ROBOBECCA GOD Bless you . I'm very glad that you believe that it did happen. My dad was in WW 2 and he was in Germany and France . He said that they could see the german women cutting the Jewish Women's hair . He said that things were so horrible and terrible. He had nightmares after the war about things that he saw. Jean Hicken
From now on I'll always save cake for my younger brother.
:( so sad.
Have you seen the video by "David Cole"?
A very touching story indeed. If we would only recognize what men can do to each other for false concepts of race, power, ethnicity, different allegiance in military conflicts. As Our Lord Jesus Christ taught: salvation is from the Jews. He was from the Jewish people. And only His teachings and love can bring true peace to the world. I advise to you the writings of Sister Edith Stein, from Breslau.
Are you people really arguing over who was good and bad?
@MrCharlieKush I KNOW
to survive you must have 5 rules 1. never trust anyone/only have very small amount of friends 2. every man for himself 3. never look the enemy in the eye NEVER 4. Steal when you have to/kill when you have to. 5.If your gonna die,take as much with you as possible.
lucky bandit is this guy
@macho417 dude this is this guys story you should atleast show some respect
well his german-austrian. A german born in austria
please dont blame austrians or germans for what happend. i am jewish ut live in austria. and i like the people. but okay some still are antisemitic and call themself neonazis but u find them everywhere around the world. but o fcourse what the last generation of austrian and german did to us is more than worse... but dont blame em all
The palestinians have left by their own choice in 1948, led by Nasser, who said they would drive the jews into the sea. The promised land comes from the bible, a book half the world population worships. If the arab nations would care so much they would take them in. or at least spent their oilmoney in education and hospitals
that just sounds ignorant.....
if he lived in 12 concentration camps. And eat the whole cake without sharing with brother is a most difficulty experience. Then I guss the concentration isn't that bad at all.
His father was a Jew. History has proved this. But, no he was only a Jew according to his *own* rules- as far as JEws were concerned he was not Jewish, as it must follow the maternal line.
mayb cause they naturally hateful :D lol
