Red Ribbon

The Red Ribbon is based upon a true story from the author's early childhood in the Terezin/Theresienstadt Ghetto.

I was born in Praha as the youngest child in a Jewish family. My mother's family was Czech, my father's Austrian. The family was deported in August 1942 to Therezienstadt Ghetto in Czechoslovakia. In October 1944, most of the family was deported to Birkenau October 1944. I was the only member of the family to survive the Holocaust. After some years in DP camps in Germany, I was sent to Norway where I grew up in a foster family. After finishing school, and a period of working, I spent a year in Israel. Returning to Norway, I married and together my husband and I raised five children. After my husband passed away, I completed my University degrees. Finally in 199, I returned to Israel and settled in Jerusalem Most of my years here, I have been wring books both for children and adults, mostly about the Holocaust. I am also a recognized artist. Some of my works are sold to private collectors mostly, in Both USA and Europe. I have also exhibited in Israel and Europe. At present time I have exhibitions in Czech Republic. Others are planned in Europe and USA as well.
