Locating the Relatives

“She called me from Yad Vashem, and asked me if I am familiar with

the name Rivka Lifshitz. I told her, yes, It’s my mother’s cousin. So

she says to me, I have something very emotional to tell you. I said to

her, what? And she said, we found a diary that she wrote. I said, now?

So many years later?”

It is only due to the witness documents which were filled out in back

in the 1950’s, that the Yad Vashem staff were able to locate Rivka

Lifshitz’s cousins, Esther and Mina, which live here in B’nei B’rak,

and let them know that the diary has been found, and send photocopies

of the diary.

“It sent me back to those days. It’s difficult to understand. You try to

disconnect, and it comes back to you. It comes back with a few

sleepless nights because you go through it again. And I don’t want to

give them (the Nazis) that pleasure of me not sleeping- no!
