Rob’s Story

Rob was just 12 when he was taken by the Nazis in his homeland, Holland. In a concentration camp, he witnessed the horrific end that waited for so many people. His story is one of understandable anger, yet it’s the message he received from a nurse that Rob says is his most memorable moment – a simple passage from the bible that changed his life. Rob explains how the anger left him, and why he views the bible as the most powerful love story of all time.
