Holocaust survivor Moshe Ridler z"L was murdered by Hamas on October 7th. Moshe was born in Romania, but in 1941, his family was forced on a 300-kilometer death march to the Romanchi ghetto, which claimed the lives of his mother and his 15-year-old sister. Separated from his family a few months later, Moshe escaped from the ghetto in the middle of the night with a group of older boys. Only after the war was he reunited with his father and eldest sister, who miraculously survived. In 1951, he made Aliyah to Israel. At age 90, Moshe moved to Kibbutz Holit in the south to live near his daughter. At age 92, Moshe was murdered in his home by Hamas. His caretaker, Petru Boscov z”l, was also killed, leaving behind three young children. This Yom HaShoah, say an extra prayer for Moshe, who was murdered by the same antisemitism he escaped all those years ago.
