on the East Side is moving visitors to tears.Rutka Rakhel was the younger sister of Bronia Brandman. She was murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp and is one of nearly 5 million Holocaust victims documented in"The Book of Names."
CBS2 saw a pre-war picture of Brandman's family in Poland. She and her older brother were the only ones who survived. Brandman didn't talk about it for 50 years, but last year sat down with President Biden for more than an hour in the Oval Office and was honored at the White House Hanukkah party. Among the more than 10,000 pages of names, each person has a story and they can be found by looking up their names on Yad Vashem's website.
As the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, CBS2's Lisa Rozner searched through an entire page of people named Marton Fischer, her great-grandfather's name. She also found Ivan Laszlo Schwarzenfeld, her grandmother's nephew who was around 12 years old and listed as"murdered in an unstated place."
