Parents of slain Israeli -American hostage reflect on their mission: "We did fail. But the world let us down," Jon Goldberg-Polin says.

"I have such incredible pride and faith in those six young people for making every single thing right," Rachel says.

Rachel Goldberg-Polin likens civilians on both sides to pawns in chess.

They fear that the rest of the hostages will die in captivity.

"I am incredibly proud of Hersh and all of them for making it that long," she says.

"Who is going to be brave enough to say, 'They're not going anywhere. What are we going to do to move forward?" she asks.
