Isaac is a Holocaust survivor from the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp
During World War II he lost his entire family and left alone in the
World.
After he managed to smuggle out from the death camp he joined the
partisans
And joined the fight against the Nazis until the end of World War II.
After the war he came to Israel and decided to live in Afula.
He opened a hardware store and decided that as long as he lives
He will teach in the street everything that he had been through
during the Holocaust.
Isaac sat down at the entrance to his store and started telling his life
story to everyone who was interested of listening.
"I don’t need to be invited to special places or getting something for
what I do , I am a simple man and my wooden chair is all I need to
tell my story , I fought the Nazis he says and I don’t like to be called "
Go like sheep to the slaughter" , I survived and fought and built my
life again , and here I am telling my story to the world , I’m not a
sheep , I’m a fighter , I won the war , my private war .
