Chaya Avraham - The Holocaust in Transnistria

Born in 1926 in Vascauti, Bukovina. Chaya was deported with her family in 1942 to Mogilev and then to the death camp at Peciora. She escaped with her sister, together enduring a long journey of survival before reuniting with their family. After their father’s death, they were taken to an orphanage in Bucharest, from where they emigrated to Israel with a religious youth group. Chaya has 3 children and 6 grandchildren.
