Joe Biden meeting Holocaust survivors Gita Cycowicz (centre) and Rena Quint in Israel this week

An emotional Joe Biden was photographed kneeling to speak to two Holocaust survivors last Wednesday at Yad Vashem.

Now the full details of the conversation, in which the President shared his own experience of personal tragedy, can be revealed by the JC.

Rena Quint, 86, whose entire family was murdered in Poland, and Gita Cycowicz, 95, who miraculously survived Auschwitz-Birkenau, met the president at a special ceremony where he lit a candle in memory of the six million Jews who murdered in the Holocaust.

Rena Quint told the JC: “I was so excited and didn’t expect it at all. I was told Gita and I would sit by ourselves on a chair at the ceremony.
