The Holy Madman Saved From The Nazis
Description
A man wandering through Nazi Germany collecting torn pages of Gemaras and Siddurim… was labeled insane by the Nazis. And that label may have saved his life. This unbelievable story about R’ Mordechai Barkhoff takes place in the aftermath of Kristallnacht — when shuls burned, sifrei Torah were desecrated, and Jewish life in Germany was collapsing into darkness. But while the world saw scraps of paper… he saw holiness. While others saw madness… he saw eternity. And years later, after the war, he discovered something chilling in the German archives: The Nazis had classified him as mentally unstable because he wandered the streets kissing and burying torn seforim. To them, that was insanity. To us, that is what it means to be a Jew. The world has always called the Jewish people strange, obsessive, irrational. But what they call madness — we call loyalty. What they call foolish — we call holy. What they call obsession — we call eternity. Video by Hillel Eisenberg. Book by Reb Yechiel Spero publiched by Artscroll.
