The Remarkable True Story of a Holocaust Survivor.

 My guest tells the story of his grandfather Benzion Malik, a man whose resilience and faith helped him rebuild his life and community after the devastation of World War II. Guided by the principle of Tikkun Olam—Repairing the World—Benzion believed in justice and left a lasting impact on all who knew him.At 21, Benzion was drafted into the Romanian Army in 1939. Over the next six years, he was forced to serve in three different armies, enduring hard labor, and abuse for his Jewish identity. He survived constant danger and relied on the kindness of strangers.After the war, Benzion walked 2,600 kilometers home, narrowly escaping death along the way. Despite returning to ruins, he was not defeated, choosing instead to help rebuild and inspire others for generations. https://martinbodekbooks.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show
