During the Democratic National Convention, the emotional speech delivered by the mother of American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin shed light on the harrowing ordeal faced by her son. Hersh, along with his friend Aner, found themselves caught in a dangerous situation during a music festival in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, when rockets began to fall.
Seeking refuge in a small bomb shelter along with 27 other festival-goers, tragedy struck as Hersh's left forearm, his dominant arm, was tragically blown off during the chaos. Subsequently, he was forcibly taken away from his life, becoming a victim of the violence that unfolded.
