Surviving the Holocaust: Hanna Bar Yesha's Story

Hanna Bar Yesha was born in 1932 in Uzhorod, Czechoslovakia. In 1944, her entire family, consisting of 70 members, was deported in one train compartment from Hungary to Auschwitz. Hanna was taken to Birkenau, and in November that year she was transferred to the Hainichen camp in Germany. In the spring of 1945, she was sent on the death march to Theresienstadt. Immigrating to Palestine after the war, Hanna Bar Yesha participated in Israel's War of Independence. Dedicating her life to Israeli youth, Hanna Bar Yesha was the principal of a high school for many years and continues to help in the absorption of youth from Ethiopia into Israeli society and culture.

What an admirable woman.

This woman is amazing. I wish I could tell her that I am so happy that the common thread that runs in the blood of all Jews connects me to her.

@satinISsexy God has given us a free will, so if u as a human being decide to do evil, what has God got to do with its evilness? God doesn't want all of this to happen, in this world. It is people and its wickedness & unrighteousness that has caused all of this. I know u will say, where was God, when all this happened?, God was there and with them! who said that after their death, nothing else would happen? read the Bible and you'll see where the souls of these victims could be!

If only there were more people like this amazing lady. The Nazi's did not succeed in any way to break this race. God be with all those who suffered and perished, with the Jewish, The gypsies, the Slavs, the Gays, The disabled, the soldiers and the Germans. Each require their own blessing. May they never be forgotten.
