The 663,700 followers of Israel’s official Twitter page were offered content that is markedly different than the account’s usual fare Wednesday.
The profile picture featured a 92-year-old man, with the numbers tattooed on his left arm as the background image. The name of the page is now “Itzik Yaakobi – Prisoner B.11057.”
Yaakobi, who survived Auschwitz and a death march, was the only member of his family to make it through the Holocaust.
The one-day initiative, called #HowItzikSurvived, was the work of the Foreign Ministry’s digital diplomacy section, to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
