Esther Vinnik

Description

She was born in 1927 in Riga, Latvia. Her father - Irahmiel - being an active Zionist, the whole family was arrested by the Soviet authorities in 1941. She and her mother were banished to a North Siberian kolkhoz. In 1944 she became ill with tuberculosis, thus getting a permit to move to a town Kamsk. In 1946, however, she was condemned to 5 years imprisonment and in 1951 had her passport confiscated. After her father’s rehabilitation, in 1957, she returned to Riga. In 1973 her dream finally came true and she succeeded in getting to Israel with her family. Remember & Save website
