The Last of the Just

This is the story of Ernie Levy, the last of the 'just men', who died at Auschwitz in 1943.

Every generation, in Jewish tradition, thirty-six 'just men' are born to take the burden of the world's suffering upon themselves. At York in 1185, the 'just man' was the Rabbi Yom Tom Levy; Ernie Levy was his descendant. Between them lie them victims of pogroms and massacres, discrimination and violence across the face of Europe.
