Overview
- Speaking on CBS’s 60 Minutes, the mother of Hersh Goldberg-Polin described the pain of knowing her son was tortured, maimed, starved, and abused in captivity.
- She recounted video recovered from a Hamas fighter’s phone that showed Hersh with a shattered left forearm being forced into a pickup truck during the Oct. 7 Nova Festival attack.
- Israeli soldiers later found Hersh’s body in a Rafah tunnel and reported he had been executed at close range with six gunshots along with five other hostages.
- Her public campaign to bring hostages home featured hundreds of interviews, meetings with world leaders, and a daily tape count to keep attention on those taken.
- The interview arrives with her book, When We See You Again, which reflects on chronic grief and shares lessons drawn from survivor accounts of Hersh’s final months.
