How my stepfather escaped the Nazis | U.S. Secretary Blinken reflects on Yom HaShoah

The World Jewish Congress partnered with ATTN: and the State Department to mark Yom HaShoah with a powerful video featuring U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken describing the impact that his stepfather’s story of survival has had on him over the course of his life.

Secretary Blinken’s stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was one of the only survivors among his schoolmates of 900 children in Bialystok Poland. He later went on to become a renowned international human rights lawyer and best-selling author. This video with America’s top diplomat is a continuation of WJC’s ongoing work, through its #WeRemember Campaign, to preserve the legacy of the Holocaust and inform millions about this history.
