b"Jewish History Soundbites is proud to launch a special series entitled \\u2018Jewish Saviors of the Holocaust\\u2019. It will explore the narratives of Jews under Nazi occupation risking their lives to save others during the Holocaust. Each unique profile will explore another story, angle and individual (or group of individuals) who though their own lives were at risk still did everything in their power to save others.\\nThe series opens with the story of Yona Tiefenbrunner, known to the orphans he saves as \\u2018Monsieur\\u2019. Born in Germany, he arrived as a refugee in Belgium shortly before the war\\u2019s outbreak. He initially opened an orphanage at his own expense in order to assist German Jewish refugee children. With the Nazi occupation of Belgium and the subsequent deportations in 1942, his Brussels orphanage emerged as an island of rescue, as the Nazis miraculously allowed the orphanage to operate and spare the children from deportation to the east. Maintaining a semblance of normalcy under increasingly challenging conditions, Yona managed to care for the orphans' physical and religious welfare until liberation. Following the war, the orphanage relocated to Antwerp and cared for children survivors until its closing in 1960.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTo dedicate an episode in the Jewish History Soundbites \\u2018Jewish Saviors of the Holocaust\\u2019 series, please contact Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nFor sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:\\xa0 yehuda@yehudageberer.com\\n\\xa0\\nSubscribe To Our Podcast on:\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nPodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/\\n\\xa0\\nFollow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites\\nYou can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com"
