Soul survivors

A little while back, I related a story to a friend of mine that I had read in a magazine. It was about a rabbi who took his students on trips to the concentration camps. One student of his had grown up in a conservative household. At a young age, he began to suffer from nightmares about being sent to the gas chambers. The parents took him to a psychiatrist, but he was at a loss to explain the nightmares, since the boy had had no exposure to holocaust films or stories. He finally came up with the diagnosis that the boy must be a reincarnation.
Years later, the boy went on a trip with a rabbi to the concentration camps. As he walked down the train tracks, he experienced a feeling of déjà vu. He recalled walking down the tracks and being sent to the left, onto the infamous showers where people were gassed to death.
My friend reacted with disbelief to the story. But, perhaps, after watching the video below, which I found on http://www.thecooljew.net/ , he might think otherwise.
