Dr. Teitelbaum most probably saved his life, and so I am here today, thanks to him, piecing a story together — a story that has been haunting me since last summer.
By the time he was walked into our family home in 1941, it felt as if he had always lived there.
He left an indelible mark in my hometown and the collective memory of its people.
