Episode 59 of Legacy Chronicles on hmTv
Guest: Arnie Newfield | Host: Donna Rosenblum
In this deeply moving episode of Legacy Chronicles, host Donna Rosenblum sits down with Holocaust survivor Arnie Newfield to explore his family's harrowing journey of survival, separation, and resilience during one of history’s darkest chapters. From pre-war life in Vienna to the horrors of Kristallnacht, deportation to Westerbork and Ravensbrück, and liberation at Bergen-Belsen, Arnie shares powerful memories—some his own, many passed down from his extraordinary mother—of the impossible choices they faced and the miracles that sustained them.
This episode reveals the strength of a mother’s love, the haunting legacy of trauma, and the unshakable will to live. Arnie recounts moments of unspeakable fear, unexpected kindness, and enduring faith. He honors the memory of his family, including a father who found spiritual survival through the Talmud even in the depths of Buchenwald, and a mother whose instincts saved her children time and time again.
A story of survival, sacrifice, and strength, Episode 59 is a testament to the human spirit and a reminder of why these stories must never be forgotten.
