Holocaust survivor rescued by Chief Rabbi Herzog reunites with his grandson, President Herzog
David Danieli survived the Holocaust, was rescued by Rabbi Isaac Herzog’s committee, and later immigrated to Israel. Eighty years after the rescue train departed Poland, he met Herzog’s grandson.
Holocaust survivor David Danielski, now known as Danieli, has reunited with the grandson of the Chief Rabbi Isaac Halevi Herzog, President Isaac Halevi Herzog. Danielski, one of Herzog's many "children" rescued by the Rescue Committee, met with the president at the President's Residence in Jerusalem. During their conversation, President Herzog, who refers to his grandson as the family historian, brought out books about the rescue operation.
Danielski's survival story includes being sent to a farm by his parents, escaping to a non-Jewish neighbor's home, and later being protected by Martha Kapitza and her family. After the war, Danielski remained with the Kapitza family and later converted to Christianity, becoming a member of the Hitler Youth.
