Description

Born in 1925 in Kishinev, she was an activist in “Beitar” from an early age. Arrested in 1946, she was charged with attempting to cross the Rumanian border in a bid to get to Eretz Israel. In 1947 she was sentenced to 5 years in the Gulag. Released in 1951, she continued fighting for the right to be allowed to emigrate to Israel. Her dream came true in 1965.
