This is a true story of Izak Goldfinger. In 1939 the Second World War is raging and Hitler is terrorizing Europe with war and ethnic cleansing. Itzhak Goldfinger, a 14-year-old boy from Poland, suffers the gravest penalty for his ‘crime: He is born a Jew… In the following 6 years he survives 11 Nazi labor and concentration camps. At the end of the war his body barely alive, is found in an open mass grave on top of a pile of corpes. Minutes from death, Izak fights for life. How did Izak find the will to survive for 6 years in the most degrading circumstances the world has ever seen? It is a miracle that he survived and lives to tell this story. These are the memories of a man who has seen it all. |

Memories for future generations, so that they will be reminded of the terrible things people do to each other. In the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz / Birkenau, Izak gets a number tattooed on his arm. A rabbi tells him this number has a special meaning. The numbers correspond with Hebrew letters; those letters spell a word; this word will help Izak to find the strength to survive through his terrible ordeal |
