Born to Holocaust survivors on an Israeli kibbutz, Yaron Svoray became a paratrooper in the IDF, a detective in the Tel Aviv central police force, and a spy. Yaron spent nearly a year undercover, inside the German Neo Nazi movement, gathering evidence of their terrorist activities. His information led to the arrests of the movement’s leaders, and his exploits became an HBO movie, starring Oliver Platt, entitled “The Infiltrator.” Few have the conviction to dedicate their lives to overwhelming tasks with improbable results. However, Yaron is one of these few, believing his life’s mission is to retrieve stolen Nazi treasures.
