Take the boy - the story of Holocaust survivor Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau

A short documentary. The film tells the story of Holocaust survivor and former Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau. Born in 1937 in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland, Yisrael Meir Lau survived a Nazi Aktion in the Piotrków Trybunalski Ghetto on October 1942, together with his mother and brother. He was later assigned to work at the Hortensja Glass Factory. In November 1944, during a selection, his mother managed to place him with his older brother Naftali, and the two were sent to a forced labor camp in Częstochowa. In January 1945, as the Allied forces approached, they were subsequently deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp.
