| | | | | In Ha'aretz a very unique diary written by a group of Jewish Zionist teenagers from Warsaw in 1929 is presented in this article by Ofer Aderet. The diary was donated to the GFH archives by Esti Kuszmierz, the daughter of one of the young girls who wrote in this colorful group diary, Bracha, a Holocasut survivor who escaped the Warsaw ghetto after the uprising in 1943. The special notebook was given as a present to one of the girls' counselors who made Aliya to Israel before the outbreak of WWII and later given to Bracha, who also made Aliaya. | | |
| | | | | For the eighth consecutive year, “A Flower for a Survivor”, a project initiated by Ghetto Fighters’ House and the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel has been a moving success. The project began modestly in 2005 as “The IDF Salutes Holocaust Survivors in Israel” which arranged for soldiers to visit survivors. Since the first program, the project has grown considerably, and now 20,000 Holocaust survivors are visited by soldiers. The Ghetto Fighters’ House assists with the preparation of soldiers for this activity.
