Model of survival: The story of Holocaust survivor and octogenarian Yona Amit
'I don’t know why I was saved – why I from all the others. But I know that my task was to be one little part of bringing up our nation from the ashes to become a nation again, to come to Israel.'
Yona gazes at a photo of her grandniece, Ella Or, the last in the survivor’s Holocaust PowerPoint presentation, who died in the 2018 southern Israel flash flood tragedy. ‘We really won!’ her quote says: ‘We’re here – to stay.’ (photo credit: NATAN ROTHSTEIN)ByNATAN ROTHSTEINUpdated:
