BALTIMORE — January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
It's a day to remember millions of Jews who lost their lives during the Holocaust.
WMAR-2 News spoke to a Holocaust survivor and the grandson of a holocaust survivor.
Jochen Wurfl, also known as Jack, is 92 years old. He will never forget how the Holocaust ruined his family.
"I lost my grandparents. I lost my parents. I lost all my uncles, all my aunts. I lost all my cousins. I lost everybody," said Wurfl.
Wurfl shares his story in the book My Two Lives.
His grandfather was able to hide him and his brother at a children's summer camp until the war was over.
His mother died at Auschwitz. At 17 years old, Wurfl and his brother were relocated to Baltimore.
Rabbi Mendel Tenenbaum, from Poland, also survived the Holocaust.
He died in 1994 at the age of 76.
His grandson, Rabbi Chesky Tenenbaum, says it is an incredible story of survival.
"As they were escaping from Poland to Lithuania, they were stopped a couple times by the Nazis, they were tortured by the Nazis, but each time they were somehow able to escape," said Rabbi Tenenbaum.
His grandfather was the only member of the family to survive.
"Growing up we had no uncles, no great uncles, no great grandparents," said Rabbi Tenenbaum.
The Rabbi says he learned valuable lessons from his grandfather.
"All the darkness and all the torture that he went through, he was able to have the courage to stand up, start a new family, and bring light into this world," said Tenenebaum.
Wurfll said he wrote a book, so future generations will never forget what happened and the adversity he overcame.
