It is six years since Baby Moshe has moved to Israel. He was two when he was rescued by his Indian nanny during the Mumbai terror attacks which claimed his parents. Today, eight years old, Moshe Holtzberg, is just like any other child of his age, playing football, going to school. But his grandfather says, "He knows what has happened."

Talking to dna from Israel, Sandra Samuel, the nanny said he has started resembling his father. "I don't work with Rosenbergs (Moshe's grandparents) any more as Moshe has grown up. He looks like his father Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg. I stay and work in Jerusalem. I meet him only on weekends," she said.

Providing more insight into Baby Moshe's life, who was unwilling to come on phone, she said he likes to play football and eat ice cream. He is like any other boy of his age. He is too small to talk about what happened," she said.

Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka were killed in the 26/11 terrorist strike in Nariman House, Colaba along with four others. Baby Moshe survived the attack as Sandra managed to take him out of the Narimam House.

Like his parents, he too is into religious learning. He is currently studying in third standard, and goes to a religious school in Afula, Israel where the family lives. "He talks to me in English," said Sandra, who has stopped looking after Moshe three years ago. On Monday, she met Moshe to celebrate his birthday.

Though Sandra maintains that he is too small to talk about what has happened, his grandfather has a different view. "He knows what has happened," said Shimon Rosenberg, Moshe's maternal grandfather. The family observed his parents death anniversary two days earlier as per Jewish calender. "We had candles and even a video on Gavriel and Rivka shown to people. We went to the cemetery," said Rosenberg.
