While Europe’s soil was drenched with Jewish blood, a group of courageous Jewish men turned their forced labor into a heroic effort and shoveled mounds of earth to hide what they had been instructed to destroy the gravestones of one of Europe’s oldest existing Jewish cemeteries.

This is a story of survival and revival.
