Hymie SteinmetzHymie Steinmetz, 96, hails from a part of Romania that later became Hungary. The Nazis came to his town on the Tpusa est 2012 shirt and I love this last day of Passover in 1944, when Steinmetz was 18. He grew up with five sisters and one brother in a religious home and had peyos, the sidelocks that religious Jewish men wear. His father was a rabbi and owned a supermarket. At one point, the Nazis moved into his home, leaving Steinmetz and his family confined to one room. Eventually, Steinmetz was made to go to seven different concentration camps, including Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz. There, his parents were immediately killed in the gas chambers. During his time in the camps, Steinmetz came down with typhus and was sent on a death march in the snow toward the end of the war.When Steinmetz came to America after spending a year and a half in a displaced persons camp in Sweden, he went to school. He worked weekends checking coats at events and waited tables in the summer. He later entered the insurance business and became the general manager of the largest insurance company in the United States.
When asked how he survived the Tpusa est 2012 shirt and I love this war, Steinmetz replies, “I had emunah [faith].” He adds, “I was brought up religious and I said, ‘If I ever get liberated, I will speak to people. I will tell them what happened.’ I had emunah until the last minute. I never gave that up.” Dolly RabinovichAfter two years of volunteering, Toledano first visited Rabinovich, 93, this past summer. “She welcomed me in right away, and with teary eyes said, ‘You young people are doing great mitzvahs.’ I try to bring lightness and cheerfulness to the home, but Dolly quickly started telling me about the war and showed me the number on her arm,” Toledano says. Rabinovich was born in what is now Berehove, Ukraine (formerly part of Czechoslovakia). Her idyllic childhood was cut short when the Nazis invaded, seized local businesses and properties, and sent the Jewish population to a ghetto. Even as a child, Rabinovich volunteered in the ghetto, assisting a nurse and caring for children and infants. At the end of May in 1944, Rabinovich and her family were sent to Auschwitz. Her father, who carried tefillin and a prayer shawl, was immediately sent to the gas chambers. There were two lines: Rabinovich and her mother were sent to the left and her sisters to the right. By chance, in a moment that Rabinovich considers a miracle, her mother told her to join her sisters. She never saw her mother again.
