Shema Yisroel!
After the Holocaust, R. Yosef Kahaneman zt'l, (the Ponevezhe Rov), began looking for Jewish children.
It was known, that some of the children had ended up in churches, and were being raised as Christians.
The Rov encountered one church, that denied the existence and presence of Jewish children within their midst. He was granted permission to enter the children's quarters, to inspect for himself.
When he entered, he began calling out "Shema Yisroel;" and instinctively, many of the children raised their hands, to cover their eyes, and started screaming out: "Mama, Mama!"
