Selection on Rosh Hashana in Auschwitz

Rabbi Sinai Adler was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in 1928, to Rabbi Shimon and Raizel Adler. In 1943 he was deported with his family to Theresienstadt, where they were imprisoned for 15 months. The family was then deported to Auschwitz, where Sinai's parents were murdered. He was transferred to Mauthausen in Austria, and was liberated at the end of the war in the nearby camp Gunskirchen. He immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1946 and entered the Chevron Yeshiva. Serving as Chief Rabbi of Ashdod for twenty years, today Rabbi Adler is a rosh yeshiva and world-renowned author and halakhic authority. He has written and lectured extensively on his experiences in the Holocaust and on Holocaust theology.
