The true story of the Neiger family’s miraculous escape from certain death by the Nazis during World War II.
In 1939, the peaceful Jewish community of Krakow was shattered by the Nazi invasion. Hanka and her family faced an unimaginable nightmare—forced into the ghetto, witnessing atrocities, and ultimately making a desperate escape.
With forged Christian identities, they navigated war-torn Europe, hiding, running, and surviving against all odds. Separated from his family, young Ben endured months alone in a forest, fighting starvation and despair. Against all expectations, the family was miraculously reunited.
This harrowing true story of resilience, sacrifice, and survival sheds light on the human spirit’s ability to endure even in the darkest moments of history.

Very interesting story❤
When I was in junior high school we spent an entire semester on the Holocaust. Watching documentaries, reading books, doing book reports, talking & learning about it ect.. We had to have our parents sign a permission slip because of the context of the books & documentaries!
It sickens & angers me when today I hear people comparing our politics to the Nazi’s & or Hitler!! They really have no idea! And particularly when I hear people criticizing Israel for defending themselves!
I’m a Christian, a Catholic to be exact but I’ve been to the Holy Land on a Pilgrimage and I wholeheartedly stand with my Jewish cousins in faith. I’m well versed in the history of the region so there would be no one that could assuage my feelings or position on this matter.
God Bless & Be With The People Of Israel 🇮🇱
This moment is very special ; I always pray for the Jewish people _God bless israel forever Yesus Christ love israel people 😢
Wow! This story really touched my heart. How can there still be antisemitism in this world? It is ridiculous to think that Nazis tried to extinguish an entire human race. Did they actually think this was possible? This family’s story proves the existence of God! I don’t think it was luck, but God who saved this family. The dog showing up at the barn, for this small boy, is definitely an angel sent by God. ❤ I have been researching the Holocaust for nine years now. I can tell you that this family’s survival is nothing short of a miracle.
What a beautiful story. I'm Catholic and I always admire you people, your inspirations. Long live the Jewish religion❤
What a sad, horrendous story…. but what unbelieveable strong people your parents were…….so much admiration and respect for what they achieved !!!
That's a great story for a movie
Thanks to the parents, all these children survived, grew up to serve their community and the world by telling their story! I understand why the brother had difficulty being abandoned…I would have been scared too…but not as resourceful as he was. My immediate Jewish ancestors moved to the USA before WWII, except for my grandmother’s father and brother. They stayed in Transylvania because the parents didn’t think the son would be allowed in…he either had a disease or was mentally disabled, I don’t know which. I visited Krakow and toured the Jewish ghetto, no names of my family were there. Then visited Auschwitz, no luggage with my family name there. I have to think that they were shot immediately for not being able to work (the father was very old then), or possibly they had already died. My parents also visited the town, no death certificates were available.😢. May the world never forget this time!
Your family had angels watching over you all!
Por qué el anterior no lo pasan
No pasa Sí no loke ni les conviene
Dejan salir lo que les conviene Eso no está bien dejen de quejarse hágalo por los niños no más no más no más
No sigan con. Sus historias de nentira haciendo que se sienta odio.
Survival is the power of self hope
What about Palestine..shame on you
이재명의 알고리즘 이 나치로 안내하네 😮 이재명 히틀러의 영이 들어간자같이 행동한다

The cruelty of the Nazis is beyond one's comprehension.
This family is lucky to have survived and come together miraculously.
What a living story and with divine intervention also !! I can not understand though why the little girl was put on the trainplatform ? For what reason ? The boy, the reason i know, we can not judge. We luckely were not in that dark place. The dog was an angel too ❤❤❤❤
