Daniel Luz, 92, says he wants to see peace in Israel but doesn’t think he will live to see it: ‘My grandchildren will — that is what matters most’; On Tuesday, he will light a torch at the Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony held at Kibbutz Yad Mordechai

As a child in France during the Nazi invasion, Daniel Luz, 92, experienced the horrors of war and persecution. Years later, Hamas terrorists nearly reached him while he was in his home in Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7. “You see me in the picture happy and smiling, but my health is really not good,” he said in an interview with ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth. “Soon I will have to return my soul to the Creator, but for the camera I make an effort,” he joked.

Luz has lived through a turbulent history in which his life was saved twice. As a child in France in 1940, he experienced the terror of war, Nazi occupation and persecution. Years later, after building a life in Israel, he moved to Kibbutz Be’eri and it seemed the past was behind him. But during the October 7 massacre, he once again found himself in a brutal reality. “That’s why I am a Holocaust survivor twice — both from France during World War II and from Be’eri in 2023.”
