Captain A., Deputy Company Commander for Medical Affairs in Battalion 7475, draws deep inspiration from his grandfather's survival of the Holocaust in Kassel, Germany. His grandfather, after years of silence, became a prominent speaker, sharing his story with schools, officials, and even royalty, emphasizing the importance of remembrance and testimony. The resurgence of antisemitism in recent years deeply affected his grandfather, who passed away just months ago, and reinforced Captain A.'s commitment to service and the protection of his community. Through his military role, Captain A. finds meaning in supporting displaced families and ensuring that the legacy of survival, resilience, and responsibility continues for future generations.
