Moshe Holtzberg, the Israeli child who as a toddler survived the 2008 terror attack at a Jewish centre in Mumbai,
has returned to Mumbai this morning, nine years after his parents were shot dead by terrorists from Pakistan. Moshe was two years old when his parents - Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and Rivka were killed during the siege at the Nariman House by ten Pakistani terrorists in November 2008.The Jewish couple ran a cultural and outreach centre for the Chabad-Lubavitch movement at the Nariman House in South Mumbai's Colaba area.
Moshe is accompanied by his nanny Sandra Samuel, who ran out with him to safety as terrorists took control of the Chabad House during the attacks. Moshe now lives in Afula, around 90 km from Jerusalem, with his grandparents. Moshe will be present at the Chabad House on Thursday, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on a six-day visit to India, opens a memorial for his parents and all other victims of 26/11 attacks.
