The three Lindenblatt brothers – Jehuda, George and Robert – were sent into hiding during the Nazi invasion as more than 400,000 were deported from Hungary.
Three brothers who escaped Budapest as German SS forces were rounding up Hungary’s Jews in 1944 have decided to share their story of improbable survival on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
“This is really the last opportunity to hear direct, firsthand witness testimony, as so many Holocaust survivors are passing away. This is the time for the next generations to pledge to carry on the legacy and the story,” Claims Conference executive vice president, Greg Schneider, told The Post. now in the US and elsewhere.”
The young Lindenblatt brothers fled to safe houses and secret locations before eventually moving to New York.Their mother defiantly ignored the decree for all Jewish women 16 and up to report to the train station. Mindful to hide any outward signs of Jewish expression, the boys stashed away any telltale garb while being transported by a dolly and hidden under piles of clothing. “My star of David was in my pocket,” said brother George, 84, remembering vividly laying still on a bed of fiberglass. “I was only 6 ½ years old, but I remember it was very painful.”
When the boy spied a piece of his cousin’s soap, he pleaded to eat it. After it was denied to him, he dreamt that night of blowing bubbles.
