International concern was raised recently after news spread of the imprisonment of Nechemia Epstein, a 19-year-old Israeli boy who was arrested at the German border five months ago. Today, according to his twin brother Yedidya, Nechemia is barely recognizable.

Nechemia has endured physical attacks, solitary confinement, and lives in constant fear, surrounded by inmates who have targeted him for his Jewish identity. A Star of David tattoo on his arm made him a marked man from his first day in prison. It is, without going into full detail, a worst-case scenario.
"A ton of guards came. They smashed my face against the wall. I took blows to my ribs endlessly. Endlessly", Nechemia said in a recent call. "My situation is very bad. Get me out of here."
Nechemia was exploited by a smuggling network that promised him a few thousand shekels to carry a bag across the border. He didn't know what was inside. Khat - legal in Israel - carries up to 10 years in Germany.

His family has confirmed that a skilled German defense attorney could advocate for a drastically reduced sentence and fight for his release, but the costs are far beyond what they can afford. An emergency campaign is currently underway, with just over $15,000 raised so far out of a $150,000 goal.
A global race is currently underway to bring this teenage boy home, alive, before it's too late. Every donation goes directly to urgent legal representation that could save Nechemia from spending 10 years in a harsh German prison where he has already been attacked multiple times.
