Survived: My Name Is Yitzkhak tells the powerful true story of Yitzkhak (Isadore) Neiman, a Jewish man from rural Poland who survived the Holocaust. Born in 1912, Neiman’s peaceful village life was shattered when the Nazis invaded in 1941, leading to the death of nearly his entire family. His survival came through conscription into the Russian Army, followed by years of hardship, including time in a Soviet labor camp. In interviews conducted in the 1970s, Neiman recounts his harrowing journey across borders and through war-torn Europe. His story highlights the resilience and courage of ordinary people during extraordinary times. This account serves as a vital contribution to Holocaust and World War II oral history.
