Incredible moment Jewish boys who shared unimaginable hell in concentrations camps are liberated
30.01.2022 - 23:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
It’s a friendship in the making, captured in black and white.
Before they even knew each other, Sam Laskier and Ike Alterman were pictured together in the most extraordinary photograph.
Squashed among dozens of men, the boys can be seen sitting atop a wagon that was taking them to a concentration camp as they were liberated by the Russian army.

Despite having lived such similar lives during the war, it would be months before Ike and Sam met properly, and decades before they realised they had been side-by-side that day.
They were just boys when they witnessed unspeakable atrocities at the hands of the Nazis in Jewish ghettos and concentration camps.
Both were treated with utter cruelty as they laboured and starved at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
And both were terrified as they endured the freezing-cold journey in an open wagon to Theresienstadt - where they were being sent to die.
The journey - which Sam described as the worst of all his experiences - took many weeks.
Crammed into the open wagon with 60 other men and boys, they survived on snow, leaves and grass scavenged from the sides of the tracks.
By the time they arrived at Theresienstadt, there were many dead bodies beneath them.
But as the train ground to a halt on May 8, 1945, they realised the SS guards had disappeared.
Fearing it was a trap but daring to peek out, they saw a man in civilian clothes with a rifle, taking photographs.
The Russian Army had sent soldiers to liberate them.
Sam later remembered it as the first time he had smiled in many years.
It was one of many experiences Sam and Ike shared without knowing.
“It was at a Holocaust memorial event many years later, when they were in their 80s, that we realised,” Sam’s daughter, Shelley Laskier says.
