The Indian nanny who saved the toddler of a Brooklyn couple in Mumbai gives her first interview to the Daily News. During last week's terror attacks, Sandra Samuel says that little Moshe Holtzberg, just shy of his second birthday, was covered in blood and next to his mother's body when she found him.

Two-year-old Moshe Holtzberg cried out for his parents during a memorial service for them and others killed at a Jewish Center in Mumbai, India last week. Brooklyn couple Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka, who had moved to Mumbai to run the Chabad House in 2003, died in the terror attacks while little Moshe, reportedly found next to his parents' bodies, was spirited out by his Indian nanny.

Yesterday, it was reported that Brooklyn Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka (pictured, left) "are among the westerners taken hostage at the Mumbai headquarters of the New York-based outreach group Chabad Lubavitch" during Wednesday's terror attacks in Mumbai, India. Terrorist gunmen had entered the Chabad house, and reportedly took a number of people hostage. Commandoes just stormed the building, and CNN-IBN reports that "5 hostages killed at Mumbai Jewish center." (More details on the raid at the Times of India.)
