Holocaust survivor Michael Geva talks about his escape from the "Death Train" during the Iași Pogrom

Michael Geva-Grinberg was born in 1927 in Hârlău, Romania. In 1933, he moved to Iași with his family. During the Iași Pogrom, 13-year-old Michael was seized together with the Jewish men of the city and led to the railway station, where he was crammed onto one of the cattle cars. Michael managed to jump from the car and returned to his mother and sister in Iași. His father and two older brothers were murdered in the pogrom. Michael survived with his mother and sister in Botoşani, Romania, and immigrated to Eretz Israel (Mandatory Palestine) in 1944.
