But there is so much more to the legendary stories of his life. Once, as Glatstein and his brother were dragged into the Dachau crematorium, praying “Shema Yisrael” as they prepared for death, a Nazi guard hollered and pulled them out, insisting they were still healthy enough to work. Glatstein’s family later characterized the guard as the prophet Elijah in disguise. “That guard, he didn’t save my father and brother — he saved me, he saved my children, he saved my grandchildren,” Yossi Glatstein said. “Do you want to know where God was during the Holocaust? He was saving my entire family from the crematorium.”
