Rabbi Arthur Schneier

During the Nazi occupation of Budapest, they lived there illegally, constantly moving around to avoid detection. As a result, Rabbi Schneier only attended school sporadically. In 1944, he was forced to wear the yellow star, which marked Jews and restricted them from activities like going to movies or restaurants.

Many Jews, including some of his family members, were deported during this time.

Fortunately, he survived and was liberated by the Russians in 1945.

Following the war, Rabbi Schneier returned to Vienna. In 1947, he immigrated to New York, and in 1955, he became a Rabbi. In 1962, he joined Park East Synagogue. Despite his traumatic experiences during the Holocaust, Rabbi Schneier is not consumed by anger.
