Featured Guests: Holocaust Survivor Zvika Teper, accompanied by his brother, Moshe Bukshpan

Zvi Teper was born in Boryslaw, a city in Galicia, Poland. Zvi was just a baby when the Nazi started persecuting the Jews. He & his family had no choice, but understood that in order to survive, they had to escape. So, he & family boarded the very first train, and did not know that it was the last time that they would ever be together. The Nazis ended up bombing the same train Zvi was on and sadly, Zvi’s father was killed.

Meanwhile, Zvi’s mother hid him in a potato sack and together they escaped. Fortunately, Zvi survived the Holocaust and moved to Israel, which he considers his triumph, and today, Zvi continues to share his story as his grandson is a combat soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces.

To this day, Zvi continues to promise that what happened to him would never happen again. You see, Zvi did not forget, and will never forget.
