Read the inspiring story of the late Rev. Sam Stern, who was born in Poland and ordained as a rabbi. He fled from the Nazis to Russia with other Hasidic youth who posed as Polish. As a refugee after the war, he lived in a DP camp for several years. Rabbi Stern was then called to Providence, R.I. to serve in his capacity as a rabbi. Soon after, he found his Messiah Jesus Christ in his new homeland and dedicated his life to serving his Lord. Upon advice of a mission director, Symcha Sternshoss legally changed his name to Sam Stern upon being granted U. S. citizenship.
