  • Izhak Weinberg (born 1938) is one of the youngest Holocaust survivors, who lost all his family of 60 souls in a single day. He and his younger brother hid for several years in different villages in Europe and survived. Weinberg built an amazing life full of meaning and art. For the last 30 years he has been intensively involved in the project of imparting the lessons of the Holocaust to Yad LaYeled, which includes personal testimony and the establishment of commemorative corners, created from his wall hangings, in memory of the 1.5 million children who were murdered in the Holocaust. To date, 42 memorial centers have been set up throughout the country, including 329 hand-woven tapestries, hand-woven in his home, with the assistance of his vision, the theme of which is the anti-thesis of the Holocaust and symbolizes the victory of the spirit over Nazi Germany. As this is written, Weinberg is aware that he belongs to the waning generation of Holocaust survivors, and must tell what happened, despite all the emotional difficulties. The feedback he receives from all the audiences that he meets with gives him the strength to continue this holy work. For 25 years he has accompanied the trips to Poland as a witness, bringing the youth to the scene of the devastation of his family in Belzec Death Camp. There is another reference on Belzec Death camp in this link: He felt there is a great thirst among the youth, to hear first-hand the story of survival, from that terrible time. Only a small handful of survivors, who decided to dedicate their lives, were left to convey the terrible story of the past to the younger generation. In 2006, Yad Vashem published his book Three Mothers for Two Brothers, which tells of his survival and his brothers during the war. Channel 8 also produced a film called "Day Care in Hell" that focuses on their survival at Bergen-Belsen in Germany. In 2011, he produced the film "Here I Learned to Love", based on his book, describing his and his brothers' survival in Poland, Hungary, Germany and Switzerland, which was shown on Channel 2 on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2012. Since then, The film has been translated into 5 languages and is screened in all communities around the world. There is a reference to this movie in a NY Times article. From 2011 until today, he continues to do a great job of researching the extermination camp at Belzec, where the ashes of his entire family are buried, including archaeological excavations at the site. He had just finished a film he'd been working on for several years. A special film about Belzec. Called "Polish Tune" (English and Hebrew versions). For the first time he exposed the method of industrial murder in the gas chambers that was carried out in all three camps of Operation Reinhard – Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka. Millions of victims were murdered in the factories of moving tape. His entire nuclear family was father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, great-grandmother, and my entire family, 60 people, were all murdered in one day in the camp. He created the 11-minute film so they could easily watch it. The film will serve as a weapon, in the war to deny the Holocaust, and against anti-Semitism. The picture of the six Jewish musicians at the entrance to the gas chambers, the two geraniums on the sides of the stairs, and the copper Star of David above the entrance will be accompanied by all his life.
