Mk87

My father was born in Vilna, Poland. He was in the Vilna Ghetto when he met his wife Tzipora. While in the same camp together, she saved him twice - she threw him a sweater over the fence to the men’s side to keep him warm, and she threw bread for him to eat. Later they were separated and sent to different camps. He thought Tzipora had died, but they found each after the war in Bergen-Belsen and were married. His entire family was killed in the camps. She convinced him to move to Israel where he worked as a scientist at the Weizmann Institute.
