Holocaust Survivor Israel Arbeiter Returns to Auschwitz in this short film from the World War II Foundation. Arbeiter’s parents and younger brother were killed at the Treblinka Death Camp.

This is a short film chronicling the moment Izzy returned through the gates at Auschwitz-Birkenau Death Camp, this time without fear of being locked up inside and watching death unfold all around him.
