Gad Partok, 93, a Tunisian-born Holocaust survivor, poses for a portrait in his home in Ashkelon, southern Israel, Friday, Jan. 26, 2024. He never thought he’d have to relive the horrors of the Nazi onslaught that claimed the lives of his father and two brothers. Then, on Oct. 7, he watched on TV from his living room as Israeli news channels played videos of Hamas militants tearing through communities just a few kilometers (miles) from where he lives. He took cover as rocket fire from Gaza pounded Ashkelon, the southern Israeli city he moved to after emigrating from Tunisia in 1947 (AP Photo/Maya Alleruzzo)
