One of the youngest survivors of Buchenwald, Israel Meir Lau was eight at the time of liberation. Descended from a 1,000-year unbroken chain of rabbis, he became Israel's Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi, one of the most respected and charismatic leaders of the Jewish faith. Out of the depths is Lau's harrowing, suspenseful, miraculous, and inspiring story, told in his own words.
