"Tell our story to the world" told the old Rabbi to the young child at the Extermination Camp. The child promised he would. Years later ׳the Child׳ became Yeoyachin Yosef, a leading Israeli Astro-physician.
"The Promise" brings the amazing story of a rare Torah book that was used secretly during the holocaust to celebrate Yosef's Bar Mitzvah inside the camp. Years later, the book was carried by Ilan Ramon, Yosef's colleague and the first Israeli Astronaut, all the way up - into the space.
From within the 'Colombia' spaceship, Ramon fulfilled Yosef's Promise, and told the world the amazing story of the book.
