Former hostage Or Levy, who was held alongside Hersh Goldberg-Polin for several weeks, explains how Hersh's attitude in captivity helped him endure the horrors of the Hamas tunnels.
Random House, an imprint of Penguin Random House, announced that When We See You Again will be released on April 21. Goldberg-Polin will also narrate the audiobook edition
Two years after Hersh Goldberg-Polin was kidnapped and murdered by Hamas on October 7, his parents recount their desperate attempts to bring him home and the unbearable reality of life without him.
In the letter, Hersh wrote about tunnels as a metaphor for the unknown challenges people face in life, never knowing that just years later he would be held captive in a Hamas tunnel in Gaza.
With a banner reading 'Shalom, Salam, Peace! May your memory be a revolution, achi,' the tribute resonated with emotions of grief, unity, and hope for peace.
He spoke about the roller coaster of emotions experienced by Hersh's parents, who grappled with hope, despair, and the ultimate heartache of their son’s tragic fate.
The slain captives were identified as Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Almog Sarusi, 25, Alexander Lobanov, 32, Carmel Gat, 40, and Master Sgt. Ori Danino, 25.
The campaign, from July 14-21, will include an evening of communal singing at Tel Aviv’s 'Hostages Square,' a Jewish Bible study session, accessible to the public via Zoom, and various volunteer activities.
