From the Holocaust to the Secret Service

Michael Maor was born in 1933 in Halberstadt, Germany. After the rise of the Nazis to power, his parents fled to Spain, and from there to Yugoslavia. By 1944, both of Michael parents were killed. Alone, he finally made his way to Israel where he was adopted. He grew up to serve as officer in the Israeli army. He studied photography in Germany while working for the Israeli Secret Service which enabled him to secretly photograph documents proving Adolf Eichmann's involvement in the extermination of the Jews during the Holocaust.

to the people who said the holocasut never happened they are all fools. we know these people suffered more than enough.

[5ptCALVIN]

wow how can people say there was no holocaust or that it was greatly exaggerated ? That is absolute nonsense . What I don't want people to forget is that Stalin killed more people than Ghengis , Hitler and Pol Pot COMBINED and those are conservative estimates . These were mostly Jews and gypsy types . We in America shoulda followed Patton's advice and took out Russia while they were weak . Think about it , no cold war , no Communist China . Think of all the lives and money we may have saved .

@DardanianSoul Pride in race leads to racism..

[ALETHEIA8881]

they want you to believe that it never happened, they want to rewrite history.... they are trying to wipe it from the history books not teaching the truth to generations to come, the ones that do not believe that it happened are brainwashed..... i am sorry, you have been deceived.

What a strong and honorable man. The courage it must have taken to not only survive but thrive after such horrors at a young age. His parents would be quite proud of their son going on to defend and strengthen Israel in their memory. Let's never forget the victims that survived the Holocaust. Sometimes I think it would be better to die than live with the nightmares of losing your family to barbarians.

If you forget where you come from, you forget who you are.

u know , some human beings r really startin 2 hack me off , the humans that r looking to the future arent interested in petty feuds and pathetic points and facts , as one race we should be thinking now in this day and age of modern technology , be thinking about populating other planets and finding other lifeforms or finding a pill that makes the body lose all unecessary fat or something like that , have respect for one another , for it is one thing humans need to progress into the future.

[SultanaBranWthBanana]

They lived though it and if you don't believe it then look in their eyes. There is something there. There is also something missing. They get the far away look in their eyes. The pain only they can remember and if you don't believe then you are just lying to yourself!
