He is taken in by a Gentile maid, who raises him as  her own son. Five years later, Josef rescues a young girl, Mila, whose  parents are killed in the wake of Nazi deportations. Josef helps Mila  find safety with Zalman Stern, a leader in the Satmar community, in  whose home Mila is raised as a sister to Zalman’s daughter, Atara.
