As a young child in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1939, Szmulek Rozental (Steve Ross) was terrified when he heard the rumbling sound of trucks bringing in 20 soldiers in yellow uniforms sitting with rifles between their knees.
They stopped, spread blankets on the ground, and with the help of local policemen, demanded all valuables be surrendered and placed on the blankets.
The soldiers set the beards and collars of the Hassidic men on fire engulfing their faces in flames, threw one woman in a chair out of a window and used a lock cutter to cut off a man’s nose, according to the Daily Mail.
