    You have more than filled your obligation to your family. I am sure that your parents and brother are very proud of you, and the life you have made for yourself. Your story is inspiring, but it also makes me want to cry. No one, no one, deserves the horrors that the Nazis put people through, especially babies and children. But, you were strong, and never gave up! Thank you for sharing your story.

    Once when I was seven, my mom dropped me off at the sitter, who was supposed to take me to school about an hour later. The sitter’s baby was sick, so she left a note on the front door, adult eye-level, explaining she couldn’t watch me that day. Bu my mom, a student at the college in town, was already running late so she didn’t walk me to the door. I was in a panic, shedding hysterical tears, and don’t know what I would have done if a classmate had not walked by and showed me the very uncomplicated route to our elementary school.
    I couldn’t imagine myself surviving even a week the ghastly circumstances this young man endured for more than a year. Amazing strength and will to live.

    I am so grateful for your story, sharing it. You were on your own, and you made it, beautiful family and life. The twists and turns of what you went through. I don't know my full family tree. I am Jewish. I was in Israel, a group trip, and Yad Vashem in 2009/10. I felt like home, and ... I want to make the Aliyah. I can't explain how I felt here .. but, it was like home. Learning the history that is inside me. Todah Rabah. HaShem, may we remember.

    A grand, spectacular story of courage and dignity. In the US today, people complain about things that happened over 150 years ago and claim it is why they fail. This story makes a mockery of that approach to life.

    ' You're on your own '.... the life story of Meir Brand is very touching.
    The twists and turns, sometimes horrible, sometimes soothing, that Meir faced at the tender age of 7/8 are unimaginable!!
    However, the darkest clouds disappeared and bright sunshine lit his life.
    So glad to see him amid his wife n kids !!
    Thanks to YAD VASHEM TEAM for this super wonderful video!!
    Through this video, Meir and his story will remain alive forever!!❤❤

He was such a cute little boy and handsome man even into his 80 s! And he married a very pretty lady ...wow I love these stories of rescue out of very terrible tragedy brough on by evil hearted people. HaShem please bless the Jewish people all over the world and help them to know of Your great lovingkindness and that you are returning soon .
