“Our Holocaust started in 1938 when I was a six-year-old boy. And from the age of nine until 12, I was in four concentration camps. So, I always lived in uncertainty and fear. Sometimes it was more, sometimes less, but I didn’t have a normal life. “
4. Fürst speaking
5. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Naftali Fürst, Holocaust survivor:
“From the train we were lined up, dozens of people, and we were led into Birkenau. The prisoners in the camp looked and could not believe what is happening, because this was after a long time, after years, that entire families arrived at Birkenau. Usually the separation (process of families) was at the ramp, the selection was near the ramp, and right there Mengele (SS doctor Josef Mengele) would separate parents, elderly, and children.“
6. Poster of documentary “Kinderblock 66”

9. Fürst’s face
10. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Naftali Fürst, Holocaust survivor:
“If I had arrived two or three days earlier the same would have happen to us, and as a child, me and my brother wouldn’t have survived, because we were children. We had no chance of survival. And what happened that on November 3rd we survived? On November 1st or November 2nd, Himmler (top Nazi member Heinrich Himmler, who led the SS) instructed to stop operating the gas chambers.“
11. Various of Fürst showing tattoo
12. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Naftali Fürst, Holocaust survivor:

14. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Naftali Fürst, Holocaust survivor:
“There were many moments of despair in Auschwitz-Birkenau, at any place. On the Death March we had to walk while hungry, wet, with no purpose, with no knowledge where we are going to, how long we will walk, and we saw that those left behind were immediately killed, were shot.”
15. Framed US army photo of Fürst (circled in yellow) laying in wooden bunk beds on day of liberation of Buchenwald concentration camp
16. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Naftali Fürst, Holocaust survivor:
“All the time (during the Death March) we saw in the ditches wounded people, killed, totally dead,. It was hell. Real hell. When I describe someone what is hell, so this is hell. You’re walking, hungry, thirsty with no hope, and you see the corpses, and the crying, this is the Holocaust.”
17. Fürst pointing at photo of his granddaughter, Mika, with her partner Assaf and their son, Neta, who were in Kfar Aza on Oct. 7, 2023
18. Photo of Fürst with his partner and great grandkids
19. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Naftali Fürst, Holocaust survivor:
“What the south went through, the kibbutzim, and the cities, the kidnapping, the murders, the rapes, it’s horrible, it’s a catastrophe, a horror that can’t be imagined, but it’s not Holocaust. There is only one Holocaust. Here (in Southern Israel) it went on for a few days, but it ended. The Holocaust was five years, and there was like an industry of murder, and in Auschwitz in one day they could burn 10,000 people.“
