A Manhattan museum screens “Jack and Sam,” about Polish Jews who met in a labor camp and reconnected in their 90s
(New York Jewish Week) — In March 2022
Holocaust Memorial Museum’s annual South Florida dinner in Boca Raton
But he couldn’t quite place him — after all
Waksal had met thousands of people during his lifetime
But when Ron said the word “Pionki,” all the memories came rushing back
and Waksal had been best friends as teenagers when they worked side by side making gunpowder at the Pionki labor camp in Poland for nearly a year during the Holocaust
Waksal was blown away by the coincidence of meeting Ron again at a gala nearly 79 years after they first became friends half a world away
In a new documentary about their rekindled friendship
“Jack and Sam,” Waksal recalls the first words he spoke to Ron in nearly 80 years: “I said
“It is such a beautiful love story,” director Jordan Matthew Horowitz said after a screening Sunday at the Museum of Jewish Heritage
“It’s a beautiful story of friendship that’s endured so much over such a long period of time.”
The screening was part of the filmmakers’ push to get the film in front of documentary branch members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as they begin voting on the shortlist of Oscar-nominated short documentaries
(“Jack and Sam” clocks in at 20 minutes.) Around 40 voters
film industry leaders and other documentary filmmakers attended Sunday’s screening
with more expected at a second screening Tuesday at the United Talent Agency offices in Los Angeles
“Jack and Sam” premiered at Provincetown International Film Festival in June and has since been shown at 21 film festivals across the globe including at DocNYC last month
Jewish actresses Sarah Silverman and Julianna Margulies signed on as executive producers for the film in October
“My wish for the film is that everybody sees it
this film should be mandatory viewing,” said Margulies in a talkback after Sunday’s screening
who starred in the television series “E.R.,” has been outspoken about the rise in antisemitism and Jewish representation in Hollywood in recent years
Margulies, who is on the board of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, said she is personal friends with Waksal’s granddaughter and believes that the story in the film is crucial given the antisemitism experienced on and after Oct. 7, when Hamas attacked Israel. (She was also fresh off an apology after making disparaging comments about Black Americans who have not supported Jews after Oct
Especially in terms of education and misinformation
it is our absolute responsibility as adults and human beings to make sure that we do everything we can to get these films seen,” she said
We have to push as hard as we can to show the evidence of what people refuse to believe.”
“Having testimony and recordings of history like this is so important,” said Jack Kliger
Horowitz “has added a lot to the body of the work that will live on for many years and I appreciate that.”
as Holocaust survivors number fewer and fewer
the two men’s story was important before Oct
But in the wake of Hamas’ attack on Israel and the international outburst of antisemitism in the nearly two months since
“I had no idea how the world can change so rapidly,” he said
The film begins with Waksal and Ron narrating the story of their childhoods in Poland over traditional documentary footage of pre-Holocaust European life in cities and ghettos
Waksal in Jedlinsk and Ron in a town near Krakow
and both lived in ghettos before being moved to labor camps
Horowitz enlisted animator Lukas Schrank to recreate Waksal and Ron’s depictions of being transported via cattle cars to labor camps and the details of their lives there
including their harrowing memories of taking their first showers in weeks but not knowing if water or gas would come out of the faucet
The film also animates Waksal’s story of escaping the labor camp after hearing that some residents would be moved to Auschwitz
He and a group of 15 others escaped together and lived in a nearby forest for more than six months before the war ended
Only six of the group of 15 survived the whole winter
where he lived until 1992 and became a successful owner of a scrapyard
an underground organization that helped Jewish orphans escape to Palestine
about 200 miles from his wartime companion
never knowing they had lived and continued to live close to one another
updating each other on the last eight decades of their lives and sharing their story at local high schools
“It’s like a miracle,” Ron says in the film of his renewed relationship with Waksal
Horowitz said he began working on the film a year and a half ago
just a few weeks after Ron and Waksal reunited
“I actually never thought I would ever make a Holocaust-themed movie,” he said
“I just didn’t feel like there’s anything I could add to the conversation that hasn’t been said many times before
Horowitz conducted extensive interviews with both men over the course of 2022
They also both spoke at a screening of the documentary at Florida Atlantic University in August
which Horowitz said was “one of the highlights of my personal and professional career.”
is 99 and recently attended the March for Israel in Washington
“We’re just trying to get as many eyes on this as possible,” Horowitz said
“That’s what Jack wants more than anything
He is so concerned with the state of the world and he feels like he has such valid points to make about it that he’s getting it in front of as many people as possible.”

The 97-year-old from Bal Harbour focused on the man leaning against the wall, but couldn’t place how he knew him.
All Sam Ron had to do was say one word — “Pionki” — and Waksal knew the connection right away.
“We worked together on a daily basis,” he said of the labor camp in occupied Poland where they spent about a year together.
Ron was an honorary chair of the U.S. Holocaust Museum’s South Florida dinner on March 20 in Boca Raton. And Waksal could barely wait until the prayer before dinner was finished. He popped out of his seat and headed straight to Ron, who is also 97.
“You are my brother,” he told him as they embraced. “We were together in Pionki.”
The unlikely reunion of the two Polish men after 79 years happened only a month before the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day, also known as Yom HaShoah. The remembrance day was last week.
Robert Tanen, southeast regional director for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, said the story of Ron and Waksal “is compelling because we know there will come a day when Holocaust survivors won’t be here to stand up and tell us their stories. "
“These two men who had to endure unspeakable hardships to make it through the Holocaust are living witnesses who have dedicated their lives to telling their stories to the next generation in the hopes they will truly learn the lessons and create a better world,” he said.
After the war, both started new lives in two different Ohio cities — about 200 miles apart. Then, unknown to one another again, both retired to Florida, one in Boca Raton, the other in Bal Harbour.
“When I saw you, I said, ‘For goodness sake, I know him,’ " Waksal told Ron during a recent Zoom conversation. The two have kept in touch since they first reunited at the dinner.
“We are facing an alarming rise of Holocaust denial and antisemitism,” he said. “We have an obligation to remember this history and not let it go unchecked. There are Holocaust survivors in the Ukraine right now having to relive situations and trying to survive yet again.”
Sam Ron’s mother hid a photo of her son in her shoe while she was in labor and concentration camps. U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum [ Miami Herald ]Sam Ron (his birth name was Rakowski, but it later changed) was born in a town in Poland about 20 miles north of Krakow in July 1924.
He says he was a “happy kid” and a “good student.” His father was in the lumber business and he had a younger brother.
When World War II began, Ron and his family hid in a neighbor’s barn for three months. Then they “smuggled themselves into” the Krakow ghetto because they feared being shot.
When the ghetto was emptied in March 1943, Ron was taken to Plaszow, the forced-labor camp featured in the film “Schindler’s List.” He was then sent to Pionki to work at a munitions plant. When Pionki was dismantled in July 1944, Ron was sent to Sachsenhausen to work in an airplane factory.
Holocaust survivor Jack Waksal, 97, holds a photo of him and his late wife, Sabina, in his apartment in Bal Harbour, Florida, on Tuesday, April 26, 2022. [ Miami Herald ]Jack Waksal was born in Jedlinsk, Poland, in September 1924. He said he had a good childhood, had friends and loved to play soccer.
He remembers seeing the Nazis burn his synagogue’s Torah scrolls in 1939. He and his family — he had an older brother and sister and a younger sister — lived in the Jedlinsk Ghetto before they were transferred to Krusziny, a forced-labor camp.
Waksal said he somehow escaped death when he was forced to kneel by a mass grave. He said he grabbed a guard’s shirt and they both fell in. Waksal then managed to climb out and escape to the forest. In 1943, he ended up in Pionki.
Jews assigned to Pionki would wait in line for coffee. Waksal say’s he wasn’t sure if it was actually coffee, but it kept them warm.
Then they would walk a mile from the barracks to the work area. Waksal took the coal off the trains and Ron delivered the coal to the machines that produced ammunition.
He said no one talked or did anything that would get the attention of the guards.
“We were only allowed to work,” Waksal said. “If you did something else , you’d get punished.”
During their recent conversation, the men talked about their long days, limited food and people who didn’t survive. Waksal asked about a police guard and whether Ron was there when a group of 50 workers were killed.
“We are the fortunate ones who survived,” Waksal said.
In 1944, Waksal and 14 others escaped to the forest. Many in the group died, but Waksal managed to stay alive by stealing food from farmers at night. He was liberated by the Russians in 1945.
After being liberated, Ron became involved with Bericha, an organization that helped survivors from Eastern Europe go to Israel.
He learned after the war that his parents had survived, but his brother had not. His parents immigrated to the U.S. Ron ended up in Israel, where he met his wife, Bilha. In 1956, they moved to Canton, Ohio.
Ron became a developer and had three children. He began telling his story to children and anyone who wanted to hear it. “I don’t care if you laugh or cry as long as you listen,” he said in a video played at the March dinner event.
The couple moved to the Boca Raton area about 25 years ago.
The Rons donated his family artifacts, including 154 photographs, to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Waksal’s parents, brother and sisters did not survive the Holocaust. But after the war, Waksal learned a childhood friend named Sabina survived and he found her and married her. They immigrated to the United States in 1950 with their young son, moving to Dayton, Ohio.
Holocaust survivor Jack Waksal, 97, holds a photo of him, his late wife, Sabina, and their three children while at his apartment in Bal Harbour, Florida on Tuesday, April 26, 2022. [ Miami Herald ]His first job was in a scrapyard. Waksal ended up buying a scrapyard and became a successful businessman. He often volunteered and told his story.
Around 20 years ago, he and his wife, who has since passed away, moved to Hallandale Beach. He now lives in Bal Harbour.
“I never would have dreamed I’d be here,” he said.
Tanen said reunions like those of Ron and Waksal are “so incredibly rare today” and serve an important purpose for the Holocaust museum.
“We understand the stories of the Holocaust through one individual story because we can relate to a human,” Tanen said. “We can understand that this happened to other people. This wasn’t in some alternate universe. This wasn’t somewhere in ancient history. This happened to humans just like you and me in the modern world.”
Waksal, who still has dreams about his time in the Holocaust, said it is “unbelievable” being able to reminisce with someone who truly understands what he went trough.
And while they haven’t spoken in eight decades, they have a lot in common — including geography and their dedication to educating younger generations about the atrocities of the time against the Jewish people of Eastern Europe.
“I think it’s amazing that at the young ages of 97 they have friends again. It’s almost like no time has passed. It’s never too late to gain an old friend.”

Michael Bornstein didn't talk much about his early childhood
The University of Iowa graduate is among the youngest living survivors of Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland
where he was imprisoned for seven months when he was just 4 years old
after World War II and preferred to focus on moving forward instead of looking back
his grandchildren began asking questions about his past
Sometimes they asked him to speak at school
“My dad cannot say no to his grandkids," Bornstein Holinsat said
The questions prompted Bornstein and his daughter to return to an idea she considered years earlier: Writing a book about his past
their efforts led to the publication of "Survivors Club: The True Story of a Very Young Prisoner of Auschwitz."
The book chronicles Bornstein's early life in Zarki
Both authors said they hope to reach young people so the stories aren't lost
“It’s really important that the next generation knows," Bornstein said
He said the story is especially important at a time when minorities
face discrimination and denial of their rights
Bornstein emphasized this message while visiting South East Junior High on Wednesday
The University of Iowa Alumni Association coordinated the visit during the duo's book tour
as well as a speaking event at the Iowa Memorial Union Wednesday night
part of the association's 150th anniversary honoring alumni stories
They plan to visit North Central Junior High on Thursday
and the book describes the setting where he grew up
The storytelling is aimed at young people but refuses to anesthetize haunting stories of killing and torture in the Jewish ghetto where his family lived
improved conditions in the ghetto as president of Zarki's Judenrat
a council of Jewish leaders tasked with helping maintain order
His father bribed a Nazi officer using neighbors' donations
sparing the life of a 13-year-old boy and freeing the neighborhood from a band of violent guards
The same officer initially reassigned the Bornsteins away from a death camp
arranging to have them relocated to a labor camp in Pionki
the orders came sending them to Auschwitz in July of 1944
while it's difficult sorting his memories from stories he heard later
he seems to recall the smell of burning flesh and sound of Nazi boots
The book describes the family's arrival at the death camp:
"You know the horrible feeling you get when you go somewhere and realize you have left something important behind
That's one of the feelings you got in the first sixty minutes at Auschwitz
Men reached for suitcases that weren't there
Women reached for children who had been pulled from their grip
People squinted to see and wished their eyeglasses hadn't just been taken and tossed in a pile like trash
It takes about sixty minutes to adjust and to accept that everything has just been stolen from you
Bornstein lived in a children's bunk at Auschwitz
faced with meager rations the other children often stole
snuck him into the women's bunk and kept him hidden there
Michael and his grandmother were staying in an infirmary — timing that was vital
soldiers led nearly 60,000 Auschwitz prisoners on a death march but left behind those in the infirmary
but Nazis killed his father and older brother
Bornstein eventually reunited with his mother
he worked at a drugstore for a pharmacist who became a father figure
This experience launched his interest in medicine
and he went on to earn a doctorate from the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy
Bornstein showed students the tattoo soldiers branded on him at Auschwitz
He shared stories of being bullied in Munich
and implored the students to act with compassion and stand up for those treated unfairly
“The world can never forget what happens when discrimination is ignored," he said
said the presentation was meaningful for him because members of his own family were imprisoned in Auschwitz
He said he never got a chance to hear their stories firsthand
although his father passed on details after their death
"It was definitely different coming from someone who actually experienced it," Epstein said
He said he worries even important stories like Bornstein's won't get through to some students who draw swastikas and make jokes about Jewish people without understanding the impact of their actions
said the presentation illustrated the pain people face as a result of discrimination
She said kids at school are bullied based on their race and religion
She hopes her classmates will plug into Bornstein's anti-discrimination message and treat others compassionately
Bornstein said he's glad he wrote the book
In addition to spreading a message about discrimination
he said it brought closure to many unanswered questions in his life
Bornstein Holinstat said the writing not only taught her about her family's heritage
but also helped her recognize the importance of standing up for others
She said the book reinforced her father's positive messages
“I hope to pass that on to my own kids," she said

The health of Poles is paramount, which is why we are constantly striving to improve the functioning of healthcare. We are constantly investing in hospitals. Every year, we increase the budget to treat our citizens in the best conditions.
Our predecessors allocated PLN 77.2 billion to healthcare in 2015. In 2023, it is already PLN 170.3 billion. In 2024, we have planned a record amount of PLN 190 billion.
“The repair of healthcare can be shown in significant numbers – that is more than PLN 100 billion more spending on healthcare,” Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stressed at a conference in front of a hospital in Pionki.
We have removed limits to specialists and introduced free medicines for seniors aged 75+. Under #NewConcretes, the free medicines programme has been expanded to include two groups:
As many as 16 million citizens will benefit from the new developments.
Thanks to our actions, we have more doctors and dentists. At the end of 2015, the number of practitioners was close to 167,000; by the end of December 2022, it was already 191,000. We have increased the enrolment limits for medical students by 3,616.
“We have recruited more students of the art to medical studies. Today, more than 3,500 more doctors are being educated. We are educating more future doctors in medical studies, precisely so that patients can be treated in the best conditions,” said the Prime Minister in Pionki.
We have implemented the first e-services in the healthcare system. Patients are eager to use e-prescriptions, which have already been issued more than 1.6 billion times. Nearly 37 million Poles have used them. More than 17 million Poles already use the Internet Patient Account. (As of July 2023). This is where you can pick up an e-prescription or e-referral.
“We have moved the health service from the analogue to the digital era. We have e-prescription, we have e-referral. Now you can get a prescription on the phone, so it is much easier,” pointed out the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited the newly opened pavilion of the Independent Public Complex of Health Care Institutions named after Lech and Maria Kaczyński – the presidential couple in Pionki. The hospital received more than PLN 43 million in government funding for the construction and equipment of the hospital. This is the largest investment of Radom County in recent times.
The building is equipped with photovoltaics and heat pumps. The former hospital pharmacy building has also been converted and modernised. All hospital activities are to be relocated by the end of 2023.
“After great efforts, the repair of public finances, we have been able to transfer part of the funds precisely for the realisation of this great work – this work which is appreciated by the residents of Pionki,” emphasised the Prime Minister.
Mateusz Morawiecki also visited the Health Centre in Przytyk. The facility received more than PLN 2 million in government funding for the expansion and reconstruction of the building.
Thanks to the new investment, the clinic now has many more rooms, including additional surgeries and a rehabilitation department. The surgeries are adapted to accommodate people with special needs. From now on, residents will have adequate healthcare at home and do not have to travel to other locations.
“This facility, which has been serving residents for decades, will not only continue to operate but will also provide medical services at a really high level,” Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stressed.

Kaizer-Chiefs
Talented South African midfielder Mkhanyiseli Siwahla appears to have given up on his dream of playing for Kaizer Chiefs. Since coming through the ranks as the youngest player to score a goal in Mzansi's top-flight at the age of 15 for Ajax Cape Town in 2004, Siwahla hoped that one day he would get an opportunity to turn out for Chiefs, the club he supported while growing up.
The 31-year-old, who is enjoying his football in Poland with KS Proch Pionki, says his past which was characterised by reports of off-field incidents could affect him.
"Obviously, I grew up supporting Chiefs, and that was because of Jabu Pule (now Mahlangu), when he played for the team, as I liked the way he played. Jabu made me (fall) in love with Kaizer Chiefs. I am not a supporter but Jabu made me (fall) in love with the team. The way Jabu played at Chiefs made me see myself playing for the team one day," said Siwahla.
"But now I can say that it's not something that will happen anymore, because of my past. It's not something that I am thinking of. I am fine here (outside) Mzansi and I am keen to finish my career out of the country (South Africa), if that happens. I don't know what the future holds," the Nyanga-born player told the Siya crew.

The 30-year-old has spoken about his career and life struggles in a no-holds-barred interview in edition 1125 of Soccer Laduma.
"Sometimes we do things because we don't know
Sometimes you do get advised on how to do certain things
As I am coming back home for the end of-season break
I feel like there is a person or people in South African football that I need to apologise to
But I wish I knew that person or those people
I wish he or they can allow me that opportunity and I would appreciate it
We have to respect the supporters that support us and support the game
We are nothing without those people because they make the game interesting and they sacrifice a lot
I love my country and I would love to clear the Siwahla name from the bad books through an apology
I feel I might have done something wrong to someone without realising it

former Ajax Cape Town star Mkhanyiseli Siwahla names the ten best players he played alongside in his football career.The 35-year-old midfielder also played for the likes of Bloemfontein Celtic
"Because I want to give everyone a chance I'm going to go for 4-4-2."
One of the people who gave me a warm welcome when I joined the Ajax Cape Town team
He's got a way of communicating with the youngsters and senior players
I played with him in the Under-23s national team
He started as a left winger but was converted into a left-back
"My two center-backs will be Thulani Hlatshwayo and Robyn Johannes
Both of them are hardworking and know how to read a game."
I played with him both in the Ajax Cape Town development and in the senior team
This guy arrived in South Africa not knowing even how to kick the ball properly
But because of all the basics we did at Ajax he became a star and ended up playing in the UEFA Champions League
So I can say Muhsin Ertugral taught Eyong Enoh how to play football
Where he is I'm sure he is paying Ertugral money for teaching him how to play football
Also when he arrived for his trial he lacked the basics
I will put the one and only Mkhanyiseli Siwahla
"I will put Thembinkosi 'Terror' Fanteni and Thulani Serero
His philosophy is to build a strong team with a solid foundation
"For him to give you a chance you need to work hard."
