Orphans who escaped the gas chambers

Miracle of the orphans who escaped the gas chambers: Two Jewish boys who were among 13 children saved from the Nazis after they were hidden in a Belgian hospital are reunited after 76 years to reveal their incredible story

• Jacques Weisser and Bill Frankenstein were among only 13 of 39 Jewish children from the orphanage in Antwerp to escape the Holocaust and survive the War
• Aged one, the boys were spirited away from the Nazis tightening their grip on Antwerp and hidden at Sint-Erasmus Hospital
• The only memory Jacques had of Bill was from two black and white photos of them both taken in 1944 after Belgium was liberated 
• Both boys lives followed different, yet oddly similar paths: Both now 79, Bill settled in the US, while Jacques eventually moved to Radlett, Herts
• After being tracked down by a dogged researcher based in The Netherlands, the men have been reunited on Zoom and shared their memories from the time
