Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMUMBAI, India — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits a Jewish center in Mumbai and unveils a memorial to 166 people who were killed by Islamist terrorists who rampaged through the Indian city in 2008.
Netanyahu meets with Moshe Holtzberg, a boy whose parents were among six people killed at the Chabad Center during the attack. Netanyahu pats Moshe’s shoulder and poses for photographs.
Netanyahu says light would spread from the memorial to make the world a better place.
Moshe was 2 at the time of the attack and was saved by his nanny, Sandra Samuel, who joins him on Thursday. He left for Israel after the attack and returned to India for the first time on Tuesday.
His parents were emissaries of the Chabad movement living in Mumbai at the time.
