MTA students hear survivor’s fascinating facts

Six talmidim from among MTA students who went on the Names Not Numbers Poland Trip in 2023, visited Dov Landau, the Holocaust survivor who accompanied them on their trip. They visited and spent time with him in his apartment in Israel.

Among the fascinating insights the survivor shared with the students were these:

1) Landau was first in Auschwitz, and then he was in Buchenwald. Rav Lau would serve as Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Israel from 1993 to 2003.

2) Landau is the child survivor featured in the book and movie “Exodus.”

3) Landau was also interviewed a few years ago for the Names Not Numbers program at MTA.
