Episode description

Tibor Rubin is the only Holocaust survivor to win the Medal of Honor. As a young man, Tibor joined the U.S. Army, and he was sent to fight during the Korean War, where he was captured and taken to a brutal prisoner of war camp. On multiple occasions, he saved many lives and acted with bravery to protect U.S. troops. His story is about more than courage and bravery. It’s about compassion. And the truth that, sometimes, hope is the most powerful defense we have.

Special thanks to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and the Buffalo Jewish Federation.
