Surviving the Holocaust: Haim Roet's Story

Haim Roet was born in 1932 in Amsterdam, one of six children in an Orthodox family. The Dutch Resistance hid Haim and two of his brothers in 1943. They were taken to the village of Nieuwlande, where 200 Jewish children were concealed, and they remained there until May 1945. Reunited after the war by the Red Cross with his parents, Haim learned that he had lost much of his family in the Holocaust. Dedicating his life to commemorating the victims of the Holocaust, Haim has initiated the project "Unto Every Person There Is a Name", a commemorative project that focuses upon the individual through the public reading of Holocaust victims' names. Produced by Yad Vashem.
